... Louis' Mate's bed ...

Hope I got the apostrophes right in that title.


Well in celebration of Easter and all that is resurrectional and life-affirming, and as a way of enjoying the last few days of Louis' company before the big trip to South America, we planted some more Peruvian spuds in a bed dedicated to Louis and all his mates.

So 30 Pink Fir Apple are sleeeping in a beautifully double dug and well maured plot.

Don't forget ... if you planted ... you can reap (in mid August).

Louis - keep playing the pants of peace.

... first and seconds ... in and happy ...

Bed A is now jam packed with 60 or so seed potatoes, Pentland Javelin (first early) and Charlotte (second early). So we are on target to be eating our first harvest come early July ... yipee ...

Meanwhile every available window ledge is covered with seeds that are now germinated and above ground. Still such an awe inspiring event, even after all these many years.
