Everything keeping me going on every visit. Most recently the sweet potatoes went in to a newly rotovated row with 3 bags of sand mixed into it.

As I said, a little of everything...

Potatoes - I have three lots growing, the first of which has the start of a flower, but I had a quick peek and they are new potatoes so I'm going to wait for them to get bigger.

Carrots - grown from seed, planted into un-composted soil and seem to be growing well though a little close together.
