Whoops!

Whoops! Having an allotment is a major learning curve. I planted my early potatoes this week - so far, so good. 


The day after I realised that I'd planted both 1st and 2nd earlies at the same time - so my 2nd earlies will be ready at the same time as the 1st. Why didn't this occur to me when I was putting them into the ground???


I've also totally underestimated the amount of space 60 tubers will need. I have to prepare more ground - I really should have counted how many potatoes I planted last year. But I am determined to plant all 60 because I'm trying 10 different varieties - so I suppose I could pass it off as a carefully planned experiment....
