Digging.

I went digging again at the weekend. The weather was nice for some of it, so I took the opportunity to put in the last of my spuds and put in and net the cabbage.




As you can see, the soil was dry on the surface, but quite moist underneath. It wasn’t hard to dig it, but it wasn’t easy either.


Now that the cabbage are fully netted I can relax a bit, except for the watering, which I will have to do most nights until they are well set.

I also took some time to check on the onions. They seem to be doing well and have come up strongly.

    Well, to be honest, this was not during a dry period. The soil is very well draining on the plot and though it looks dry here on the surface, just underneath it is very moist. I guess to the casual eye it looks bad, but take my word for it, it is not a problem. The problem comes from the free draining part; it means I have to water everyday :(
