First Earlies In

I planted my first row (17) of new potatoes [Homeguard] on the 8th and a further two rows(16 each)today -15th March. I have only slightly earthed them up this year so I must earth them up as they grow. One tuber got forgotten in the egg tray and, since it was heart shaped with two chits, I split it in two and planted them in two spots above the first row. The area I have planted them in had onions on the left and courgetttes/runner beans on the right. Last autumn I put some half rotted horse manure on the left hand side. (Also on the top section where the potatoes were in 2009.)

Now I need to sow my leeks and tomatoes at home and prepare the patch by the shed for the two types of onions.
