I will confess to having put my first earlies, Lady Crystl, in today but the soil is warm and had plenty of organic stuff added to it in autumn so the worms are working overtime.  If they fail, they fail and I'll have learned my lesson.  If not I'll have a nice early crop of taties come May!

the guy on the plot next to us always puts some in inthe middle of february but he covers them with clear polythene.

crikey!  those GS's must be cashing it in during spring - Out of approx 30 'Carnival Mix' peppers and 20 trailing cherry tom seeds I got about 99% germination and they were free from a magazine!!

GS's ? what doeas that mean?

Anyway, I planted my raspberries and loganberries and strawberries today and I moved my rhubarb from the back garden up to the plot. I only split it last year but it grew well and the crowns where at least twice the size!

Next week I think I will plant my onion sets and Broad Beans, weather permitting!

Does anyone know if its safe to move my blackcurrents at this time of year?
If only we could teach the Slugs to only eat the Weeds, and then the Pigeons to only eat the Slugs!
