What I did today 2020

[smallblueplanet]

Crossed my fingers and planted my International Kidney potatoes. A bit early, even for here, but worth the risk. I'll just have to fleece them if we get a hard frost.

Do you put seaweed on them, and do they taste like Jersey Royals?!

Doh. Duplicate.

Removed a paving slab from my patio, dug over the soil underneath, made a mini-raised bed there from half an old plastic dustbin with the bottom cut out, and planted my potted persimmon tree in it.
It dropped it's leaves early last year, so I was a bit concerned, but the buds seem to be swelling, so I think it should be okay.

Growing a luffa in it would be appropriate...!

Can you find an old towel rail to put next to it?

What do you grow in the bath? Plug plants? Tap roots?

No only Strawberries strawberries ��

April edition of GYO magazine just arrived with a further 10 packets

Yeah, did they win the lottery or something? It was hard to hide the pile of seeds from SWMBO...

Quick trip to plot to check it was still there, and to take some compostings.

Then an afternoon sowing seeds in the greenhouse - onions, leeks, sprouts, broccoli, 60-day raab, beetroot and two sorts of carrots. Hooray!

I am a seed hoarder and I still have a shoebox stuffed with surplus seed packets. They will be picked through by a few friends but mostly will end up at a local charity shop - they are all good, unopened and in date. The only danger is that I go back in and try to buy some of them back - my seed hoarding is a serious disorder!
