Potatoes

Hello!!
I am keeping busy! Today spring is on and off again.
I put on the pack and did a double lap of the river track with 16kgs. Did ok too so I am feeling all positive about that. I did get rained on. Then sunned on… then hailed, then sun… etc. You get the picture.
Decided to attend to indoor activities for the rest of the day.

The day before yesterday I got to and finished digging up this patch to put the potatoes in.

Plenty of fat garden worms

The weeds slowed me up a bit but got there in the end

Its a smaller than usual patch… thinking about waiting a couple of weeks then putting in another patch in the duck yard garden. Just don’t really want to dig up that sticky clay, weed encrusted spot!!

Rocket happily going to seed again!

Garlic has a bit of yellow happening but overall I think they will be ok. Will give them another boost of something (worm wee?) soon.

Jeff had the fences down while working on the wood, so had to do a bit of chicken wrangling – they were having a lovely day extra free-ranging.

Yesterday I had another workshop – 4 people came along. We did battle the elements a bit which was a shame but still went well.

Anyway, these dishes won’t get done by themselves I suppose!
Going to put the fire on as well.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Cheers
