Beetroot and cabbages seedlings

In first left bed, planted some beetroot seedlings and some red cabbages from mum; also some seed beetroot from a fresh packet I found in shed. Squeezed a few lettuce in between as they should be out in a month, depending on weather.

Potatoes all planted

Back from skiing and decided to plant out the Saxon (2nd early) in front centre bed - bug over quickly and added some of last years compost, as not much has been added here for sometime (this one has been growing carrots and beetroot mostly for last few years). Not covering this one even though its a little chilly still. All 3 varieties now in the ground, so potatoes done.

Picked a few of last years leeks - one going to seed but mostly looking healthy. About 10 more to go.

2nd lot of potatoes

On holiday today, so as very nice and summy decided to plant out more potatoes. Front right most bed. Extensive covering with msh to simulate a cold frame and try to keep it warmer.
