You're welcome. In that case just remove any badly affected leaves and check all round for caterpilars.

Probably leek moth caterpilars. There's no practical method of prevention as far as I know. At this time of year I would lift the onions and use. Dispose of the leaves.

Yes good soil generally makes a big difference. It's well worth doing that.

Good for you, and well done.

You can do that that but better to use seed potatoes about the size of a large egg as they give a bigger yield and are much less likely to suffer any problems in the ground.

Well done and good for you. They look excellent. Enjoy.

Thanks, and for you too.

It's calm, cold and sunny so I had a quick look round the plot after lunch. The robin appeared as soon as I arrived. There was thick ice on the composter lid pond which I cleared then refilled. Now home for a welcome cup of tea and a couple of biscuits.
