    Hello all , got my 1st early & 2nd potatoes 🥔 in . Have also done 3 potatoe sacks as well which are in G/H until it warms up a bit 
    been to plot this afternoon , not very warm and very wet 
    Sorted out greenhouse , only 1 sweet pea germinated , think they where old seeds !
    As ever lots to do 
    Took clouches Off peas not many growing unlike Broad Beans , dose anybody pinch out the tops of there BroadBeans ?
    Somebody has taken on vacant plot by me , not seen them yet 
    Hope everybody is keeping well 😀

    Gardengirl , it rained just after I had finished cutting lawns , lucky 
    Was able to go back into garden and do a few more bits later on , nearly  finished and it started to rain again 
    Hoping to go to plot tomorrow
