Potatoes

I checked on the growing potatoes at the weekend and they are looking good. They are not as far along as other people’s but then I did put them in late.

The weather has been up and down of late. We have had days of very hot weather and then days of rain. It’s playing havoc with the plot, but things seem to be getting through it this year. It never ceases to amaze me that gardening is such a constant struggle with nature, but how reliant we are upon nature to ‘let’ us get a good harvest. No matter how many chemicals and genetics we use, it is still down to nature to play ball.
