Yeay...it's time to reclaim part of my dining table. The time to plant my first early potatoes has arrived and today a row each of Lady Christl, Amorosa, Swift, Red Duke of York, Arran Pilot, Pentland Javelin, Ulster Prince, Sharpes Express, Shetland Black and Yukon Gold went into the ground. Piccolo Star has gone into a bag. These have been chitting and occupying half of my long dining table. I have six egg trays left of salad and maincrops to get in.
Today saw me plant horseradish thongs, courtesy of the GYO Guru Zazen999. Thank you and they are in!
I planted my Glaskins Perpetual and Red Canadian rhubarb crowns today, giving them a good mulch of muck in the process.
The beetroot seedlings have gone in under cover of cloche. The leek seedlings too have made it to real soil.
More tomorrow!
12th March saw me sow parsnip seeds, six varieties. Thirty station sowings in total so fingers crossed!!!
When we arrived home, after a warm day on the allotment (with picnic), I went straight to the greenhouse to sow more leeks in modules, same with more beetroot and celeriac.
A full on weekend!
Just don't come running back when the horseradish starts taking over the world. :)
