Fertile? Yes!

Well now I have to stop the weightwatchering because i am 7 weeks pregnant!! Also means i cant do a lot in the allotment and i have now became a bit of a tyrant to my poor husband pointing at the beds and saying dig that area please! Tomorrow we are going over the plot to dig over the beds one more time, adding lime to the brasicca bed and then covering the lot up with black fabric sheeting. Hubby is going to fork over the spare bedding area for my spuds that i am planting in the 3rd week of march if weather holds out. I cant remember what i ordered to be delivered when from the Deflands nursery so want to be prepared for anything!!!!!! Will start other seedlings off towards end of march, last year i started them too early and they all went leggy and died :(

I have also put loads of sand in my roots bed and I have bought my potatoes from Woodcote Nursery. I bought 6 seed potatoes of:
Salad - Charlotte
1st Early: Red Duke of York
2nd Early: Kestrel
Mains: Rooster & Maris Piper
