General Gardening / Kumquats

My Kumquats have really come along really well
I was hoping for a few this year, but I went away for a week or so and came back to find this lot on there
Certainly a bit beyond my expectations
Now hat am I going to do with all these ?

Grow Your Own / Re: Will seed potatoes rot?

I am with New Shoot.  My potatoes are continuing to chit in my back porch.  It is far too wet to plant them.  The allotment is like a swamp.  Up here in Yorkshire, I usually wait until mid April anyway.

Blowing a hoolie here as well with rain pelting against the windows. 

We did get sun first thing, but it was grey and wet by mid morning and has gone steadily downhill ever since.

My seed potatoes are in the shed and are staying there for now.  Nothing much has really got going yet and I still have daffodils and tulips blooming in the garden. 

Some years you just have to forget your normal sowing and planting calendar and wait for nature to catch up.  Even a raised bed would be a cold and wet soggy mess that wasn’t going to get potatoes excited about growing.

I wouldn't be planting any potatoes directly outside at the moment.
Wait until it dries out a bit and the soil temperature needs to be warmer than it currently is.

Torrential rain on the way to work.  Paul was supposed to deliver a piece of glass 4 foot by 3 foot but phoned up  the customer and said it was too dangerous for him to  carry it from the shed to the van in the wind.  They agreed and Paul will do it tomorrow when hopefully this wind will have died down.  Horrendous journey on the way home with cross winds along the coastal road.
