Thanks Spuds Laughing

Oca seems to be sold out everywhere but, on the up side, I did get some Egyptian Walking Onions which are currently waiting out the cold in the porch!

Work is progressing very well in the community garden. The polytunnel is up and the first few plants were put in yesterday. We've started work on the raised beds outside - there will be 6 BIG beds! ...
