Bed 1 has been dug over and planted with potatoes. We have gone for Kestrel, Majestic and Pink Fir Apple as the varieties this year - just for a change not any particular reason. We also have planted leeks, parsnips and half a row of chrysanthemums. The latter were a free packet of seeds which filled a patch in the bed.
We have also put two varieties of potatoes into planters (potato bags). In these have gone Charlotte and Mayan Gold. We always have a problem with carrots so this year we are trying carrots in a shallow planter to see what happens.
The seeds in the greenhouse seem to be doing well and this weekend we also planted courgettes.

Just to show I hold no ill will to you deleting my post`s on your blog (due to you being unable to debate the lib dem position (being a political pygmy that you are) I will still help you with going self-sufficient.
Potatoes: Plant some Sharpe's express (Sharpes Express was TV gardener, Percy Thrower’s favourite)...

Upside: Those in the know? say its the best tasting potatoe.
Downside: The yield is pathetic.
The lib dems have one thing in common with Sharpe's Express and its not the taste then. There again I have never eating a lib dem... Like voting for them its hazardous to health.
I spelt potato with an `e` on the end...less haste more speed. Too many other things on my mind to concentrate. Can`t believe I am making posts on "going self-sufficient".
