French beans

Planted some french bean seedlings, about 3" high in one of menure-full-bags. Possibly too rich for it as menure hardly composted at all but we'll see--layered a bit of soil of top so they can get started in that. Earthed up a few potatoes as they are 6" high or so.

Onions, carrots

Planted a few onion sets next to those I planted over winter. Plus tried sowing a few rows of carrots

Planted potatoes

First sunny, warm day of year so planted all potatoes in one go: Winston (1st) , Nadine (2nd), Lady Chrystl (main). A bit latter than previous years; ground still rather soggy and cold. 1st earlies under a cloche. Over-wintered garlic and onions looking a bit battered but seemed to survive.
