I went out the other day to tidy up the garden, picking up leaves and turning the soil over, pruning fuchsias and a couple of other plants.  I probably won't get out much until spring now as just having lawn to walk on doesn't do it any good when it is very wet. It looks like I might have to edit the photos of the garden in tomorrow when on a pc.  The blogger app no longer works on my two mobile devices and Google wants me to use its Photo Auto Backup - not keen, I'm not one for giving third parties access to all my stuff.

Called at Thinford Nurseries and bought 4 types of potatoe sets, 2 types of earlies, 1 2nd early and 1 main.  I got 5 of each to plant in bags as we find this the easiest way to grow and harvest them.  They are currently sitting in a box in the spare bedroom, the only cool light place I can think of to chit them. I also bought 4 bags of vegetable compost and another slimline water butt to empty excess water from big one collecting water off the shed.  You watch the rain will start to ease off now and I won't get much more to transfer; but that is what I want, less rain so I feel more inclined to get out and do some actual gardening.
