Potatoes’ progress

We put some spuds in early this year and covered them with a bit of plastic and fleece if the nights got cold. They are coming on great now and we’ll start earthing them up as well so we don’t get any green potatoes. (Above) The bed on the left are the spuds and the raised bed to the right of that are a couple of chilli plants and some Egyptian onions.

Below, another raised bed that’s a bit full to the brim, perhaps too full?

How are everyone else’s spuds doing?

Keep watching the skies!

Cheers to Spike from Morschen43 for sending these pictures of some great looking red skies from his house in Le Puy-en-Velay, France from the other evening. There’s some very moody looking clouds there!

It would be great to hear they had lovely weather the next day, proving that old proverb: ‘Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight’ was correct. Cheers Spike.
