Loads more leaves!

This week, with my car off the road with MOT woes, I was unable to visit as usual. However, my neighbour has been clearing his garden of leaves and had filled, well part-filled, 9 bags. He offered to bring them to the plot in his van so on Thursday we got them down there and stacked them on the plot.
On Sunday I managed to get down on the plot as usual and arrived to find Ivor had already loaded 3 bags of leaves into the bin and then 3 into a full-sized builders' bag. He stacked the rest ready to store later.
While I made coffee he cleared a weed infested bed ready for a layer of compost - on his next visit.
​
While he finished off I prepared the rest of the Allium bed and planted two rows off garlic, one of Provence Wight and One of Solent Wight, both saved from last year's crop. I now have all my garlic planted in two batches, one done last autumn and one done this spring. Each batch has some garlic bought in fresh and some saved.

There's just space for another few rows of shallots. It sounds a large amount but each row is only 4ft and has 9 cloves/sets planted.
I folded up the bags to take back home ready for the leaves still left in my neighbour's garden!
