Only very light frosts here now so took the plunge and got my spuds in, which is a relief as they have been on the dining room table chitting for a few weeks.
Managed to get a couple of builders bags of "soil improver" for £50, just had to drive to Swindon to collect them. Each bag contained 650 litres and I've used all of one bag and about 3/4 of the second one. £25 a bag seemed like a bit of a bargain, just have to wait and see if they grow OK.
I have added potato fertilizer to each bag so hopefully it will prove to be a good medium to grow in and once used I can spread it in the flower beds as I wont be using it for spuds a second time.
Wish me luck
Corking day today. Started with light frost and then quite a heavy cold, damp mist but once it lifted the skies cleared and it's currently 17°C with little breeze.
Still and dull. Looks like the frosts have gone....for now.
Yesterday turned out beautiful for a couple of hours.( UV6 too!) Time to hunt out my sun hat!
