Intercropped Onions

I was given some spring onion seeds ('Ishikura') last week, so we nipped out after work and planted a few rows between the onion sets (still doing well). They're much faster than the maincrop onions (which will only harvest in August or later), so we should have some available in about seven weeks.

At the same time, we sowed a few rows of 'Early Nantes' carrots (as thinly as possible, to minimize thinning and the risk of attracting carrot root fly), a further pair of pea rows, and a row of runner beans. I shall update the plan as soon as I have a chance.
