Even the blackbirds have managed to avoid pulling out my transplanted onion seedlings so far this year (although it could be their eyesight just isn't good enough to actually see the feeble, skinny little things!)

I planted out 110 onion seedlings last weekend, mixture of Beds Champs and Ailsa Craig. I've still got another 80 to go

My onions are covered against rabbits. They dig everwhere    They also like the green tops when there's nothing much else on offer
