Today at the allotment was potato planting day. We have had the seed potatoes chitting in the kitchen for the past few weeks, but today we planted 5 first earlies and 5 main crop. Then in a few weeks we will plant another 5 of each so we can stagger the harvest. Earlies will be ready around June/July then the main crop in August/September.
We had to do a fair bit of digging to get the beds ready, especially as we decided to extend the last two beds and join them together. So we now we have two big beds instead of four smaller ones, which gives us a bit more planting space.
I managed to get muddy as usual.
