Under my chard bed, I have another small bed with leeks..or onions. I think this is leeks, meaning the bed which I’ve cleaned at the beginning of the week is actually an onion bed. This is also a seedling bed, when they will be ready I’ll transplant them to the winter bed. 

Since this is the wettest part of my garden most of the beds here are lettuce beds. There are a few different varieties of lettuce here, but all are winter lettuce. Most of them are out native lettuces or Italian varieties. I also plant zucchinis on my lettuce beds, so my beds are mixed.

After finishing all the beds, except for the one that I’ve sown a week ago, I decided to start cleaning the lower part of the garden, where this year I didn’t sow anything. Here I usually have onions, garlic, and flower bulbs I buy on the market, but this year I due to COVID I didn’t buy any. So now it’s just covered in grass. This is the moistest part of the garden and the hardest to clean. Grass can barely be pulled because the soil is always wet and sticky and the hoe can’t be used(for the same reason)

Before and after

This part is so wet that we have the constant company of little frogs. Well, at least there are no slugs in the garden. Slugs avoid frogs and hedgehogs which are daily visitors in my garden.
