No dig diary, 29th March 2024
You’re not going to believe this: we had a load more rain today. More than once I was forced to take shelter in a greenhouse or polytunnel to avoid the horizontal raindrops. I was watering in the polytunnel at one … Continue reading

It appears that I may have an muscle injury impinging on a nerve for my left arm, which has slowed me down today. On the positive side it doesn’t really stop me doing anything, but it is constantly nagging at … Continue reading
No dig diary, 12th March 2024
After an awful lot of rain again last night there was little chance to do anything much in the garden, so I have settled for putting my seed potatoes out to chit. I’m only growing the variety “Charlotte” this year. … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 20 July 2022: Spuds’n’onions
Early harvests from this season: New potatoes ready to go. Red onions, spread out to dry in the Sun. I know that looks like a lot of onions, but they won’t last us the year. I shall plant more next … Continue reading
The case of the disappearing potato

No dig diary, 26th June 2021
It’s been a busy busy day today. I had to do some bee stuff first because the forecast is for 24 hours of rain from 9am tomorrow and I don’t like playing with bees in the rain, after which I … Continue reading
No dig diary, 20th June 2021
I managed to earth up the potatoes today, but other jobs then got in the way of me doing much else. The only other garden-related thing I’ve done is emptying a pile of the remains of old beehive frames that … Continue reading
