I realise that I haven't had that much to say on the subject of allotmenting recently. This isn't because I'm not doing anything, much seed germination is taking place (except in the carrot and spring onion area), but it is a little dull and I have talked about it at length. Although I have just potted on my courgette seedlings which is coming along nicely.
Today I put my potatoes in. It is traditional to put your spuds in on Good Friday, which is odd as it moves each year, but this year it was throwing it down with rain so I didn't. It is sunny today so off I trotted with my trowel and my nicely chitted seed potatoes. Into the ground they went and not into the bags this year. I am seeing if I get a better yield as they haven't been very good in the bags (I blame the ants) and I'm am using the same varieties as last year, Pink Fir, Valor and Duke of York, in order to compare properly, so let's see what happens.
Picked some lovely purple sprouting broccoli as well today that was particularly nice with our dinner.
