The red and white onion sets have been sitting on the kitchen counter for several weeks. Planting them has been on my “to do” list, especially as the sets I planted a month ago have taken root and are now producing shoots. So, in went the iPod, on went the wellies and to a mix of BB King, Indie Arie, Kelly Rowland, Sandy Denny and many more, I danced my way along the rows until all the onions were ( more or less) in straight lines.
