Planted spuds!

Went up t'allotment t'morning to plant some spuds - had to re-dig much of the soil which was a pain, but it's at least a little lighter after the dry weather (and volcano ash?) - only planted 15 spuds but took up a surprising amount of space! For reference, they ended up in the onion plot from the previous post - the onions went elsewhere...

Onions doing ok, as are salad crops etc. Weeds currently not too bad. Lots of raspberries growing from previous tenant.

Emily was very good and got involved! :o) Her job was to put the sand in for the potatoes... old play sand to help lighten the clay.
