What's your soil like? What else have you grown this year and how did it do?

Thanks Dave thats what I thought
I think it may be have been not weeding eneough or not watereing every time
Hi Dove
You were the first to help me when I was a NewBoy all those months ago
Onions.........Some were sown where potatoes had been and some where carots had been
Parsnips......Where Runner beans had been
Hi Newboy - glad I could help then. This time ............
I think you may have hit the nail on the head!

Thanks Dove
? Should I leave them or dig up and use and use the bed for an Autumn planting now
I think I'd use the onions for pickling or as salad onions.
How big are the parsnips?

Will let you know after I have visited Lottie on saturday
I think both should have been sown earlier. They both need a long growing season.
Mmmm, he sowed them early May and it was a very cold spring ....
