A wet week

Well that was a very wet week. Not a great deal done outside the pollytunnels. I did get the hoe out on Tuesday afternoon but after that it became a swamp rather quickly. The rocket potatoes under the fleece are enjoying the rain .In the tunnels I dug the last of the spuds up (wish I planted more) not very big but the taste of your 1st potatoes is something to die for. The asparagus is getting a cut once a week. Some of the tomatoes and strawberries are starting to come into flower so spring is in the air somewhere.
