We love potatoes, they are the earth's buried treasure, there is nothing quite so satisfying as turning over a forkfull of soil to find, who knows what? The boys have taken the job of digging them up as their own and mutiny when I suggest we limit ourselves to just one row at a time. This ungency has it's advantages though as space is still at a premium. Today I planted pak choi, beetroot, onions (too late?) and four, yes count them, four brussel spout plants. Only another 56 brassic plants to find room for then - and that's not counting the lacey ones which I fear will go straight to the compost, without passing go.
Rather a lot of weeds in the background again - honestly I do try.
Fab picture, I love digging up spuds, it's like finding treasure. It's my favourite memory of my childhood with my grandfather. The 'weeds' make a nice green back drop to the photo...;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie and he looks so pleased with himself. never mind the weeds (says she who is always weeding !!) the main thing is that you have lots of tasty veg.
ReplyDeleteI truly am trying to follow my own advice and trying not to be concerned about the 'prettiness' of my plot (is that a word ?) I have only just planted my 6 Purple sprouting broccoli plants and 5 brussel sprout plants, but they should be OK as they were is decent sized pots all this time.
