Potatoes
Six rows of spuds here plus three rows further up the plot. First and second earlies, Red Duke Of York, Anya, Marfona and Kestrel. We had too many Kestrels (donations from last year) but couldn't give them away. It seems everyone has too many seed potatoes.

Shaping up
A spell of decent weather has allowed us to get stuck in, ready for the coming season.
Bed prepared where the brassica cage was last year and main crop onions planted. We've left room round the edges to plant leeks which should make digging them out in winter easier (can stand on the path)
Also dug over the legume bed adding a load of compost. The brassica cage behind, in its' new position, still needs the bed preparing.
Even removed some soil from the greenhouse and dug in a load of well rotted stable muck.
