First crop of potatoes

Not much has happened on our walks with Horace
over the last few weeks that’s why I haven’t
posted anything.
Today we pulled up our potatoes and got 2.5 kilo I’m quite pleased with that for our first crop, For next year we are planning on making some potato boxes to grow them in that we can keep topping up with compost as they grow.

A few weeks ago I
planted a pea just to see if it would grow, It
did start to grow and is now a small plant, I
made a mesh tube out of some screen printing mesh
and put that around the pea plant and made a top
for it, It’s all very rough as you can see in the
picture below left, This has stopped any chance
of slugs getting inside and eating the plant,
also it lets in air and water.
For next year we plan to make mesh covers for all
our vegetables.

Our first vegetable patch

We have made a plot to plant our vegetables, We
planted our first ones today they are rocket,
onion, cabbage, leek and purple broccoli.
Nothing has grown yet and it's been ages since we planted them, must be about half an hour ago.
Anyway I am looking forward to seeing them grow, Any plant I've ever had has always died but Louise has had more luck than me.
