By the last day of March I had managed to finish the planting of all our seed potatoes, and in a period of relatively mild weather too, although a little rain was much needed.
We have Casablanca (1st early), Charlotte (2nd early salad potatoes), Milva (1st main crop) and Valor (late main crop). If we have half the success of last year we'll have plenty of potatoes!
I've also dug in most of the green manure and will finish digging the rest of the plot in the coming week so that everything's ready for more seedlings and seeds direct into the plot.
Meanwhile buds on the apple and plum trees are slowly starting to open and hopefully the almond tree will not be far behind.
