Picked up the seed potatoes today:
- 3 kg of Lady Christl (first early).
- 8 kg of Pink Fir Apple (salad, maincrop).
- 8 kg of Rooster (maincrop)
So, er, that should keep us going. For all: plant March-May. 10cm deep, 30cm apart, rows 70cm apart. Chrhistls should be ready June/July, maincrop Sept/Oct.
Cleaned out the greenhouse, washing down with Jeyes Fluid — a real nostalgia hit: it’s what Dad used to wash down the chicken-shed and pigs’ sties with. Then put up the staging and laid out all the potatoes to chit.
I should plant my garlic. And overwintering onions; which appear to have overwintered in the shed. Ho hum.
