A bitterly cold wind from the north this morning. Some showers later.
I have a few unwanted seedlings so this morning I pricked some out into old fruit containers to grow on. If they're looking okay at the time of the next village garden club meeting I will send them down there for them to pick over. So that was the job for this morning.
A few of the seedlings for the garden club.
After lunch I planted the seed potatoes. Even though I now have a veg garden I still decided to grow them in buckets. This year though I am just using soil from the garden as I've been having trouble with them making too much top growth. I think some of the potting compost has a lot of nitrogen in it which can be okay for certain things but not for growing potatoes, we will see though. I am growing Charlotte as a second early/salad potato and Cara as a maincrop. I'm starting Charlotte off under the greenhouse bench and Cara outdoors in the bigger buckets.
Cara & Charlotte potatoes. The buckets will be topped up with soil as the plants grow.
