Getting the veg plot ready for Winter

Winter Potato HarvestIt has been a busy weekend, Saturday had us rained out, so all the plans for the garden went on hold.  The evening was spent up at A&E with Caroline’s dad.  He was kept overnight but released on Sunday afternoon.

That gave us Sunday morning to dig up the winter potatoes.  We were not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.  To test them out we did a nice salad for lunch with potato salad as the star.

In the now free plot we dug in some compost from our well manured compost heap, another benefit of keeping chickens; and planted next years onion crop and two varieties of garlic, which will be a first for us.
