Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
I don't dig anymore, but the worms are beginning to take the top layer of manure down into the soil, leaving their casts on the surface. I also try not to walk on it too much, it's only a small patch. It looks pretty soggy! I've got my aubergine seeds now, so I can get them going in the heated propo...

Re: Large seed potatoes
We've done this in the past. Cut side down, eyes up ! I can't recall any problems using this method.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
I repotted my column apple tree ‘Lord Derby’ yesterday and scrubbed and disinfected the strawberry buckets ready for planting the new stock, which are currently soaking in water. I’ll need some more topsoil for them, as I only have one bag left, and that won’t do for 6 buckets! I had an infestation ...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Visited West Dean gardens today. My niece volunteers there, and she showed us what she’s been up to! Must go back in the spring.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Westi, I don't dig anymore. I just can't sustain it :( So I just add to the top and take weeds out as they come. I only have a little plot, so not too much work. I've just put a nice thick layer of manure on the surface, and will let the frost & worms take it down. It all gets a little shuffle w...

Re: Neighbours
Nowt so funny as folk Stravaig! My 86yr old neighbour won't accept any help whatsoever, even when she's ill. I think my dh managed to take over mowing the lawn one day last summer, but that's about it. She is very determined. We've been neighbours for over 26 years, and she is very nice. I can't eve...
