Didn't get much done today because the ground was too sticky to dig, but did manage to capture these two rainbows!

first lot of potatoes in

Planted the 1st early (rocket) and second early (charlotte) potatoes today. The ones in the pictures are rocket.

Also finished preparing the carrot bed, the frame will be covered with fleece in an attempt to keep the carrot fly out. Sowed 4 rows of early nantes.

2010

Haven't posted for a while so it's a new year and a new season. After the worst winter for many years the ground is drying out nicely and the gardening has begun!

The potatoes are chitting well and they will be going in the ground this week as we are off work. We have Rocket, 1st earlies, Charlottes, 2nd earlies, and Main crop we have Desiree, Cara and a few Pink fir apples.

I have started off some tomatoes in the heated propagator, Garden pearl, which are a cherry and 100 and 1000's which can be grown in baskets.

Sowed 2 double rows of broad beans on plot 59, Bunyard exhibition. Also planted the onion sets and shallots.
