Today I went down the Allotment for about 3 hours in the morning and part afternoon and I rotivated over part of the plot in order to plant my First Early Potatoes. I made trenches using the Mantis Tiller and Plough attachment and in the bottom I put Shredded paper and Chicken Manure pellets. I put in 2 rows of 'Rocket', 12 in each row, and 1 row of 'Epicure', 12 in a row. I then popped down to Homebase to pick up a few items. I then went back about 1/2 hour later for about another 4 hours and my nan came over to help dig up some fruit trees that were round the Polytunnel. We planted up some Blueberry plants into pots as well as my Nectarine, Pear and 3 x Apple Trees. We also relaid the weedliner down to the left hand side of the Greenhouse and put the raised bed on it. I have put some soil back into this however it still needs levelling off along with the raised bed infront of it. In the afternoon I then put in another row of 'Epicure' First early seed potatoes. I then tidied up the Greenhouse as it was quite messy and I put the rest of the potatoes that I have left in the Greenhouse in order for me to plant in the coming days. The weather last night was drizzly and today was quite drizzly in the morning but then turning into a cloudy day with it feeling quite warm in the afternoon and temperatures into double figures.
