    Is this the start of the good weather ?

    Good sunny day today. Still restricted on my hours as I have to take Iona to school in the morning and have to be home to take over with Niamh in the evenings - so frustrating when the light nights are here and the weather is good !!
    Anyway, cleared all the crops from my tunnel floor - only 16 raddichio and 8 Charita lettuce remaining. So I have rotavated the tunnel floor and it now has a (very) liberal coating of 5 year old manure on it which is covered with terram on top of which are my pallets, on top of which are my seeds.
    So an update on what is sown so far - some of this was in my last blog entry so apologies if I am duplicating

    I have also planted 5 kg Shallots Longor, and am working my way through 25kg of Onion sets Sturon.
    Still got loads to sow and plant but a lot will be direct sowings and the ground is still too cold up here.
    I got my Ferguson potato planter - it's in a bit of a state but all the bits bar the seats are ther so will get that sorted at the weekend ready for next week if the weather is good.
    Was going to put spring cabbages in my boxes this week (organic of course) but the wholesale price is £1.40 each - to me that price is just taking the piss!!
    Anyway waffled on enough for now, will update (with photos I hope) next week.
    Later...............
