Raking Woodchip and planting Onions

A bit cooler today so I decided to warm up on my arrival at the site by raking some of the woodchip just inside the gate into the bin and off the track. Whoever dumped it obviously cannot reverse as most of the load finished up outside the bin. I used the muck rake I was given some time ago, so long I cannot remember who it was who gave it to me. As this is the only time I ever use this marvellous tool I have passed it on to the association and it is stored in the Trading Hut for whenever it is needed.
Having moved the pile back a couple of feet, I went on to the plot and planted the rest of my onion and garlic. One row of 15 clumps of Sturon onion sets should give me the small to medium size onions my wife prefers. The next row is 15 single Sturon onion sets for large storing onions. The last row is 15 garlic plants from my crop last year, trying to get garlic that suits our soil. I plant 15 in each row because that is the number of modules in a tray and it stops me planting them too close together. I have a fancy way of spacing them out that would take too long to describe here.

After picking some forced rhubarb, I went back to raking woodchip for another 15 minutes or so before going home to lunch.
My thanks to Irene (plot 3) and Mike ( plot 83) for giving me a hand with the raking. At least now cars can get past without spreading the woodchip all over the place.
