After a brief weeding session there are now 7 rows of potatoes in the ground, chitted for a week, and the rows marked by a fine line of manure to aid banking up.

Cara and Saxon this year so will be interesing to see how these perform against some of the others on site in terms of yield and quality.

Must have been on a roll today as the garlic is also in.

Unfortunately this required hoeing, proper weeding and digging over as this was a patch left untouched by the rotavator.

This year marks a sowing of garlic obtained from the garlic farm on the isle of wight, who have something of a reputation for their garlic.

Not to say that we have high hopes but it will certainly be interesting to see if their reputation is justified.

Onions next...
