That leaves the really steep bit far up the back of the allotment for grass and maybe a cubby-house for the kids one day?

I planted two rows of spuds today, 1 ft deep, 18 inches or so apart, can’t remember the variety though. Alister or Colin must have planted the first three rows. It is getting steeper up there, each row is a little harder to get in place and there are a lot of upside-down turfy bits that make it a bit tricky.

The garlic is looking ok. Bottom of stems are going purple-ish.

To Do up there:

  • Tie up the rasberry canes again. The last lot fell down an became ankle traps for those going past.
  • Plant some herbs and beans and stuff.
