Sunny Sunday at the allotment today me and callum went down this afternoon with a mission in mind ... to plant potatoes :)
put 2 rows of first earlies in last week (foremost) and this week did half a row of them then the rest in the row were a different variety called pentland javelin heard good things about them so thought id give them a go it was only a small bag i bought from poundland
next a row of second earlies called charlotte i have tried them at home before with good results
and finally i put in a row of second earlies maris peer supposed to be good and according to the old men at the allotment the maris varieties do well ..i saw that for myself last year
I wanted to wait another week before putting my second earlies in as last year there was the late frost i managed to avoid damage by rushing down with garden fleece but had the idea if i planted a little later it would be better although the first 2 rows were later than last year ,looking back at my blog im about the same time planting seconds as i was last year .... holding off the maincrop for a week or so
Then i came up with the bright idea of moving the carrot bins to make room for the tayberry bush im late planting!!
this job involved moving the soil from one blue bin to another move it then fill it again ... its done now and i wont be repeating that again!!
