Earthing Up!

Very excited yesterday afternoon to see a whole lot more of the potatoes starting to poke their way through the surface. The first half of the first earlies were doing so well that we earthed them up last night
 
 
The other half of the row is slightly behind but only by a few days and the good news is that the tips of the main crop potatoes have started to appear too so all is looking good!
 

We planted some runner beans in pots at home a couple of weeks ago. They didn't seem to do much for quite a while so I brought them indoors and of course they all germinated straight away
 
'PING!'
 
 
We have some old bamboo canes so will plant them out shortly.
 
So everything is looking good..........and the only problem is hayfever! Its been quite bad the last couple of days so I may have to take some antihistamines for it. Hayfever and needing to work on the allotment do not mix!
