Its a leaf day today - so sowed some early lettuce in modules for planting out in April.

Also spread compost on my asparagus bed as a mulch, and then on lottie 2 spread mushroom compost where my brassica's will got this year.

And then the rain hit and had to stop.

Almost finished digging - have a 3x3 sq left (rain stopped play)  Worked in the poly as the thunderstorm whirled overhead.  Put the canes in for the melons and cucumbers - will they x-pollinate each other?  and sowed two short rows of lettuce.  Had a root to see what was happening with my spuds in black buckets - there are shoots :D
