It's time. Time to start buying in the compost, digging out the soil block maker, getting the seeds sorted and the allotment plan pencilled in. It's time. My potatoes tell me so....
Ooo our spuds are looking like that too! We are planting most at the allotment but I am doing a few in a tub on the patio because the kids adored digging the potatoes our last year, they were so excited it was like they were digging for treasure!
I cannot wait to get my hands into the soil again! Soon... but not soon enough. We still have the rest of this month before I can be sure of no more snow. I'd love to try potatoes this year! I could see how Linzi said her kids thought it was like "digging for treasure"~ I remember that from my childhood days. Have fun preparing your garden!
Are those fresh eggs in the top photo? I heard they're tho only kind you can keep outside the fridge. I'd love to have access to them; like you I, too, dream of life on a farm :)
So long as eggs haven't been washed they are fine to be kept unrefrigerated. They aren't sold in a chiller cabinet. But one day I hope to have fresh eggs, yes!
Sigh... We still have at least 40 cm of snow everywhere. I planted some herbs. :)
ReplyDelete40cm? I don't think I've ever seen that much snow!

ReplyDeleteDigging? Mine just booted the tub over.

ReplyDeleteFun might be stretching it ;-) we have clay soil and it's hard work all the way!
