Taking Advantage of Sunshine!

Yes, sunshine.  A rare sight these days!  Still not very warm in the wind though.  Went down to the plot to get some work done.  First of all we planted some new fruit - Simon got some raspberry canes for his birthday, Autumn fruiting ones, so in they went.  Also a rhubarb from home that needed a new home.  I put in 3 currant bushes, a red, a black and a white, got them with a garden centre voucher I was given from work.  Gave them plenty of room to grow.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then planted all our potatoes, did 2 rows of Nicola, chose this variety as it is blight and eelworm resistant, two problems we suffered a bit with last year.  Then 2 rows of Rooster - good sized and healthy looking seed spuds, then 3 rows of Pink Fir Apple - love these knobbly funny shaped spuds - great salad potatoes.  All had lovely healthy shoots on them so hoping they will all do well.   And after that it was time for lunch - Simons home made bread and my home made muffins and a great cup of coffee.
