Sorry Val Ha ha Good One Clodhopper
I got some spuds in today. First real session on the plot for yonks so was glad to get out doing something. I'm doing no dig spuds and put them in a sandwich of cardboard, manure, spuds then black sheet mulch. Fingers crossed I've not just made a rabbit and mouse picnic table ;D Oh forgot to mention slugs
I've planted Arran Pilot. My next lot going in tomorrow is Desiree. The manure I;ve got is rock hard so I watered it tonight hoping it will have gone a bit softer overnight.
