This spell of fine weather is a god send.
With the lock down people have lots of spare time for gardening.
As I am retired it does not make much difference, I always have loads of time.
Although I often wonder where it all goes.
Anyway, I have just planted my Charlotte spuds. I make a shallow trench, line with some rotted manure. Then a layer of grass clipping, from the first cut of the year. A sprinkle of slug pellets.
Plant the spuds on the grass. A layer of compost from my compost bin. Means I have to dismantle a compost pile, no mean feat!
Then top of with soil.
I normally wait till Easter but as per the title, make hay whilst the sun shines.
Many other jobs in hand.

It's supposed to get a bit chilly again next week but here in Northumberland the forecast is still dry thankfully so lots to do
