Today was a proper April day – sunshine and showers. In the morning we had more showers than sunshine and the afternoon was only a bit better. I had to go and plant my chitted potatoes , the ground was ready but the rain stopped play a few times. In the end I managed to plant them all, five long lines. Some were my old ones from last year and only a few were bought.

The growing season has started, I’m sure of that. It is only question of time and I’ll be sowing parsnips and carrots….
