POTATOES!

If the title looks like I’m shouting then you would be correct but it is a happy shout my friends I assure you:

The potatoes are in, I repeat, the potatoes are in. A little while managed at the allotment has produced a small number of what felt like little miracles!

Some of these will look like piles of poo I know but if you look closely on the second one you will see I have laid the potatoes on the ground where they are to be planted. The third photo on the first line shows where we put the extra new potatoes – a job taken on by Dearest Son who then got some manure to put on top. I have to say he was a great help there today.

We had a lovely time up there today – the weather was warm and although it was still quite windy, it was a warm wind. Seeing the progress we have made and the growth of things like the rhubarb really gives the motivation a boost! One final announcement…..The new cover for the greenhouse/polytunnel arrived today! Too windy to do it today but soon, oh yes, it will be done very soon.

  1. Our soil is nowhere near warm enough to put potatoes in yet.

    1. The thick layer of manure has helped with the heat.
