I thought I'd share this with you all as it made me laugh. :D
Today was the day I decided to plant my second early potatoes. I'd dug a trench to a spit deep, half filled it with well rotted manure and turned it over. I was crouching down with one foot on each side of the trench planting the spuds in front and under me. I leaned back to plant another, but lost my balance. I slipped, lost my footing and promptly ended up on my bum in the trench! :o ;D I couldn't move for laughing. I'm happy to say there was no damaged done to me or the potatoes and I finished planting.
Lets just say I will be more careful when planting the lates!
At least you didn't fall in head first :o ;D ;D
Are you going to earth yourself up as you grow then???????

slow down, I haven't even got the first earlies in yet!
;D
how well rotted was your manure?
I bet you felt a right ass, did you get a round of applause. XX Jeannine
If anybody saw you they probably fell over laughing
I don't think anyone saw me (I hope)! ::)
The manure had been on a small heap for about a year. I took it from the bottom on the pile and was absolutely full of brandling worms. I didn't know whether to put them on the plot or to go fishing with them!
