First 5 spuds going in at edge of plot..

Fortunately, the allotments are considered OK during the CoViD-19 crisis, so today I planted my first five spuds at the edge of the plot. The plots are still due to be ploughed by the council so has been difficult planted knowing they may be dug up again in a few weeks! But I'm hoping I can transfer them then :)


I'll weed the rest of the plot over the next few weeks.

Not quite Shannon allotments - but while we wait for the ploughing..

As we cannot plant or use the plots until they have been ploughed. Which cannot happen until we've had a few weeks of dry weather I've been getting my spuds in elsewhere! :)

Namely a polytunnel in Mayo :)

Before an hours' weeding...





And after with 10+ Queens first earlies planted :)









Also found a couple for the pot while weeding




Weather didn't stop raining but perservered and go a cherry tree in the front garden
