Onions. Broadbeans and Shallots

Thankfully the weathers been great this weekend, foraged up around the Tallaght reservoirs, apart from a fine 8 km hike, not much to offer on the mushroom front, a few wood Blewitts, some larch bolet  left untouched they were past their best and a few shaggy ink caps again their best had past, there was however an abundance of berries and fruits, sloes, rose hips, and blackberries- a good destination note for next years harvesting, being close by. Picked some sorrel leaves and some wood sorrel -ate some on the go.
Planted red onions, shallots,broad beans and elephant garlic in the allotment, harvested some kale[ cavalo nero] a few tomatoes, nasturtium seeds and gave a good dig to vacant ground, still need to get some regular garlic to plant and tidy up a few of the other beds.
