Planting Potatoes (finally)
The allotment is suffering from a combination of apathy and weather. On those few afternoons at home when I could be bothered to go and dig something up it has either rained or snowed.
Today I decided to confuse the weather gods by going to the allotment in the morning. It's been nearly two weeks since my parents brought me a box of sprouting King Edwards with a rather useful planting guide on the lid.
There were enough potatoes to plant about two-thirds of a row. Then, in line with my previously decided plan, I double dug another row for the row I'd planted in. Just as I was finishing it started raining on me, the weather gods having finally woken up and noticed.
Hopefully I can get some peas dibbed in next week.
