What a relief to get some planting done.

It's still not that warm here in the North East but after the terrible start to spring, I started planting a few things in the potting shed and garden this weekend. What a relief, I was getting worried that before long Autumn would be here.

I think those of us in the North have a short enough growing season as it is, this year been reduced by another good 4 weeks I reckon.
Not doing so much gardening as it will only be the stuff in my back garden's little raised beds and pots this year and I have already decided to buy plants from nursery rather than raise my own from seed.
Like you though Micheal, I did make a start this weekend by digging over the two wee beds and sowing 10 seed tatties )t'

Twice as many as me, Annie. But it's a start and those first new spuds are the best. So now they can get growing. I put 5 Rocket in, and I've cleared some ground for the SHarp's Express. But the ground for the maincrop and the peas is still weedy.
