Another catchup post

It's getting busy busy out there in the veggie patch, but I haven't had chance to post a blog for a fortnight..oh the shame. So I'm backdating this one for the 21st ;)

(does wiggly back in time hand movements)

Planting stuff in the greenhouse bed, we have 5 small rows of lettuce, 1 row parsnip, 1 row carrot, 1 row cauli, 1 row cabbage and 1 row of perpetual spinach.



Starting some cucumbers off



Outside bed prepared for potatoes, I bought pre-chitted potatoes from Marshalls but next time I'll just chit them myself. They weren't very chitted, and had to be kept on a windowsill in the house for a couple of weeks anyway.



Three long rows of planted Charlotte potatoes, the netting over the top is to dissuade the foxes from digging into the freshly dug earth.



We had 5 (in house) chitted Rooster potatoes, and a leftover Charlotte that we wanted to try growing on old compost bags.

Potatoes had been kept in a sunny but northfacing windowsillin a room with no heating. They sem to have chitted ok.


Empty compost bags, rolled down with about 4 inches of compost in. Holes stabbed in the bottom for drainage. Add in potato with chits facing up, cover with a couple of inches of compost. Place bag in sunny sheltered spot. We've put some netting over, again to dissuade the foxes...just while the soil settles.
