Still have memories of that vicious frost in mod-May last year!

Oi!!!!

It wasn't our fault!

I really must learn to use a keyboard JayG - that should have read 'mid-May'

Finally! I had to clear the bed which had leeks, parsnips and lots of weeds (need to make mashed parsnips and leek soup for the freezer).

Put them all in - I've gone for a few of lots of varieties this year.

Also got some in potato planter bags on the patio.

Planted first 1/3rd of First Early (Arran Pilot), and 1/3rd of Pink Fir Apple. Don't want to rush for the rest in case we have late frosts and I'm having to rig up double fleece and straw / grass clippings to try to keep the frost off.

I have bags for ultra-earlies, and these two batches will give me some middle-earlies, and the rest of the First and all the Second earlies can then come successionally.

That's my theory anyway!

My main-crops went in yesterday.
62 Desiree tubers and 26 Cara tubers.
My 1st Earlies which were sown 14th March are not showing yet.
