I already feel so far behind with this year thanks to the weather. But what can you do when the veggie plot makes the Somme look like a Forest School mud kitchen? So despite the fact that I should already have planted out the early potatoes and the peas, this afternoon I finally got around to preparing the bed they’re going to go into.
I spread a 50/50 mix of council green waste compost and my own home-made compost over the bed, raking it to around 5cm/2″ deep. The forecast rain tomorrow should settle it down and if the weather is better then I can start planting later in the week.
