Chitting spuds and radish shoots!

Found my first shoots coming up on wednesday night after work! Went out with Rosie and to find them just poking through in the torchlight. By Saturday they were this big and loads more had also shown up! Don't they look happy? :)


I used the morning to sow more parsnips and onions, as well as plant bits of garlic at the end of the patch. I'm sowing parsnips and onions every two weeks so they hopefully don't all come at once.


I also had a look at my potatoes which I got from Henry and have been 'chitting' in my shed since feb. Everyone looks at me funny when I tell them this, but all it means is that they're growing roots before I plant them. They look pretty happy too, but still need another few weeks.


We've got some frost forecast for early this week, I hope it doesn't kill everything....
