At last some planting

Last week the rain abated and at times the sun shone, so we took the plunge and started planting. Fortunately, beds had been dug over earlier in the year so we could start planting straight away.

The first to be planted were the early potatoes. Some compost and fertiliser were added to the soil and two rows of potatoes were planted using the trowel method which seems to provide us with as good a yield as going through the backbreaking task of digging deep trenches. Once the seed potatoes were planted, mounds of earth were drawn up over the rows and more earthing up will be done as the tops emerge.
