Well.. I’ve finished all the digging/weeding at the plot and my potatoes are in not much more I can do now except wait for the weather to improve so I can get my carrots/beetroot/parsnips/sown direct. I was down there on Sunday -my forth visit last week and managed to direct sow some early dwarf peas and broadies [ think they'll be ok after Saturdays heavy rain, the soil was a bit claggy with me having to balance on a board]

I’ve got to buy some more onion sets as I didn’t get round to planting them, then somehow managed to throw them out when I returned home [ stupid girl!] I also gave my soft fruit a good layer of manure and a good sprinkling of sulphate of potash to give them a boost..

I’m also planting some asparagus this year. I bought some a couple of years ago then noticed bindweed, I kept them in pots while  I sorted that out but they didn’t survive the winter.. I started digging another bed last year and ridding it of any perennial weeds, then raising it up with lots of compost and manure – if the weather improves I’ll put them in this week..

Everything else I started at home is doing well and long overdue a photo update – must get round to it..
