Chitting my seed potatoes
Spring might be round the corner. Or it might not. Today was the first day since 16 January when the garden wasn’t covered in snow – it has finally melted. And of course it looks a right old mess. But never mind, we’ll get it tidied up, and nature will help soon, with things beginning to grow, and bud and a general coming back to life.
I headed into the greenhouse this afternoon, and set out the potatoes for chitting. I bought a ‘chef’s collection’ with three varieties: International Kidney (salad/second early); Anya (also salad/second early) and Ratte (maincrop). I think we’ll grow most of them in bags or tubs this year.
I also sowed some seeds in one wee seed tray: cosmos, rudbeckia and basil finissimo.
I know, flowers! But if we’re thinking of having bees, we’d better grow them some flowers to enjoy.
