2025 planting ..........

[Stan]

Approx 200 Stuttgarter onion sets have gone shoulder to shoulder in a tray of damp compost, in the greenhouse, to develop early roots. In a couple of weeks they will go in a raised bed outside and protected from Mr Blackbird by mesh frames. He looks for worms by lifting them.


I’ve bought the seed potatoes, Kind Edward and Maris Peer but have to wait until April to plant out. I’ll be doing the same as last year and just laying them on the surface before covering with compost.

Loads of shops are selling fruit trees and I had a pair of victoria plums. They are in the ground now and staked.
