After a minor op on last Tuesday, Friday was the first day I could get onto the plot.
There was lovely crop of strawberries filling another ice cream tub that holds 2 litres.
My priority then was to line my empty compost bin with landscape fabric. The woven version stops the contents drying out too much but allows surplus water to escape. There was enough material waiting to be composted that I half filled the bin immediately. However, it will soon condense down.
Then I wanted to plant some brassica plants in one of my net tunnels. However, the weeds were so thick it took me ages to clear them and I ran out of time.
A neighbour was harvesting potatoes so I thought I would check mine. The first plant of my 'Pentland Javelin' produced enough lovely new potatoes for at least two meals!
