A lovely day to be caught in the rain !

Not a very pleasant day yesterday, but we put our rainwear on and got stuck in.

Heather put in a lot of effort weeding and applying a mulch to the fruit bushes.

As can be seen from the picture below, the bushes are looking really healthy and are already producing new buds. In the coming weeks we will be building a cage to protect the fruit from birds .

I managed to plant three rows of early potatoes : Two rows of Nadine and one row of Maris Piper... which are not really early, but produce the best-tasting 'new' potatoes when lifted whilst still small.
