Potatoes doing well -- up to 6" high. Building up soil around plants with any spare soil available. BOth areas still covered with fleece.
Planted dwarf beans in bottom left bed next to peas. Two rows about 6" apart. Covered with black liner until they germinate. Will need support when start to grow.
Planted rhubarb in bottom right corner, where original leeks were. Deep pit filled with compost, mulched with wood chippings.
Gave up on carrots and beetroot. Dug over M and T's areas and replanted. Removed the poly-tunnels. Noticed that original carrot seed packet was from 1996!
Moved smaller round compost bin and started to dig out the area that will be for sweetcorn.

Potatoes starting to come thru; replaced black liner by fleece.
Peas showing also, but lots of weeds.
No sign from carrots or beetroot.
A little bit of rain today but mostly dry recently.
