We were down on the patch extra early this morning as we put the clocks forward a week too soon !
Signs of life showing from the onion sets and the nursery bed where leeks and brassica seeds have been sown.
Heather planted two rows of early potatoes... International Kidney, which are better known as Jersey Royals but can only be called Jersey Royals when they are grown in Jersey !
We have decided to turn very 'new age' and plant the potatoes to a biodynamic cycle which uses the signs of the zodiac to position the phases of the moon. So today the moon in Capricorn which is an Earth sign. It is a good time to sow root plants like asparagus, beetroot, carrots, chives, early potatoes, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, onions, parsnips, radish, shallots and spring onions.
