Had a lovely two hours up at the lotties tonight, and was overjoyed to see that most of the potatoes are poking their heads up, in fact, all ten of the British Queen maincrop and about twelve of the twenty Jersey Royals... gave them all a good soaking, made a mesh tunnel over the broad beans (all but three out of seventy two have come up, nice and strong) and weeded between the onions... All of the shallots and all of the red onions are up, all six jerusalem artichokes, and even some sign of the early carrots, and their border of spring onions...Friday morning will see more weeding, planting the beetroot (next to the potatoes) and taking up thirty or so pea plants from the upright greenhouse at home...
My cabbages and pak choi are doing great in there too, but are a bit leggy, may try and bury the stalks a bit when they go into the plot...
