I decided to plant out some of the leeks.
I ended up using three sections of this tray and the rest is back in the mini hot house
Waiting for me to decide where they should go
I moved these pots into place and filled them with compost.
The compost pile is out the back so I had to bring it in with the wheelbarrow.
It took three fairly full wheelbarrow loads to fill them
You can just see the leeks They’re small but I’ve planted onions and leeks this little and they have
Grown. After a week or so. Once they’re established I’ll mulch them
I swam three days in a row this week and almost two hours each morning so I’m now exhausted
So dinner is in the slow cooker.
Meatballs in the roasted vegetable past I made with more fresh eggplant and peppers
Not the best looking but it’s so full of flavour I’m sure it will taste good.

The rest of the day will be taken up with continued work on the big mosaic blanket until my arms start to hurt then I’ll swap back to the small fabric squares.
I really need to water out front as well. It’s been so long since we have had any decent rain and we don’t have any forecast in the near future.
But the time I do all that it will be time for bed
Enjoy your day
Hmm. Leeks. Now that's a vege I hadn't thought of.
ReplyDeleteThey’re excellent for winter crops. A great onion replacement but much milder
DeleteWow, you did a lot of swimming -- no wonder you're tired!
ReplyDeleteI’m trying to get back to four times a week. But with all the work I’ve been doing at home I’ve had to have sleep ins some mornings
ReplyDeleteAnd leeks are really good for you (F says - I disagree. Cats don't thrive on leeks.) Leeks aren't good for boats either but I digress. We sowed leek seeds in the greenhouse last weekend. I tried to dig them up again when F wouldn't let me go exploring other allotments. That got her attention! we can't wait to see the reveal on the mosaic blanket. How many blankets have you made in the last 12 months?
ReplyDeleteStill working on this massive one. I have no idea how long it’s been. But it feels like years
DeleteI love leeks and they're one thing which will grow for me. I buy small plants though
ReplyDeleteThe meal I'm sure is delicious with all your preserves
Usually anything cooked in the slow cooker Is red or dark brown. This was still green. Like a green curry so it looked bizarre to me. But it was very tasty indeed.
DeleteLove Leeks...and I'm sure the meatball dinner was wonderful!

supper looks lovely and I bet it will be tasty. I have nothing to throw into the slow cooker, which is a shame as I will be out all day today.........
ReplyDeleteI love leeks, especially in soup, use quite a lot of them. The whole allium family, in fact. I hope yours thrive.
ReplyDeleteLast years crop was a success. So I am hoping to have another bumper year
