Potatoes

Decided to take a gamble and plant out the early potatoes, in one of the small centre beds. Rahter small bed but got all 20 pack in. Variety Accord (1st early it says).

Onions

Planted out the onions - red, yellow and white as usual - in back right corner boxes.

Thought about potatoes, but decided still too cold, so covered bed with a mini-polytunnel to try and warm it up.

First substantial amount of work this year

Still fairly boggy after recent rain but decided to fill in the new box as its just getting too late. Fresh compost from my bin and straw/menure mix and layers of soil as usual.

Maybe 2 beds could be ready to go quite soon - think I know where onions can go (in last years potatoes at back-right). But others still need digging over and moving soil around that came out of the new hole.

Garlic not looking too bad -- a few have raised themsevles out - or more likely the soil has settled around them leaving them a little exposed.
