I will condense the blur of the last few days into one as it really has been digging and sowing, digging and more digging! In fact, the only thing that really changed is the degree of our sunburn. Starting on Monday as a pale pink tinge due to the wind blowing steadily across the fields and masking the sun. Two visits on Tuesday, early to avoid adding to the sun-pain and later, after sending Luke off on the train back to university, for a couple of hours in the evening. We still finished bright red despite sunblock!
Planting progress so far includes;
The fruit mentioned previously
Potatoes - 1 row of Estima and 1 row of Pentland Javelin
Onion Sets several rows of - Hercules (big and strong), Red Karmen (red onions all of the way through) and the donated sets from our neighbours
and a few shallots called Topper
We have also planted the start of our asparagus beds with red asparagus called Pacific Purple and more normal Connover's Colossal - more to follow on this.
A little over a quarter of the plot is dug and worked over although not yet planted - doesn't sound a great deal but believe me it took some time!
