By Friday and just over week since TK turned over the first bit of earth, we had managed to dig over a 5ft strip of ground across the width of the plot. We've kept the parsnips that were already growing there, just in case but yesterday afternoon was spent planting the potatoes we picked up at the Shed Shop last Sunday.
As we are late planting, the potatoes were already chitted so it was just a case of putting them in.
We have two rows planted:
One row of earlies, Duke of York. These were well chitted so not sure how these will do. They are the left row which TK is putting in. The row is split by the parsnips.
The second row is the main crop, Picasso. These looked a bit healthier. Will be interesting to see which are the most successful.
The next job will be to protect the strawberries that are already on the plot by creating a bed for them. Going to pick up some netting from the Shed Shop later this morning and make a start on that today.
