The morning and lunch with the Diginator and Emma, and then down to the allotment in the afternoon when Digs needed his nap. Grandad will be growing Digby some sweetcorn this year.

14c feels like 10c Sunny. I spent most of my time in the potting shed after finding the mushroom trays that I use for chitting potatoes.

I should have got them out of the carrier bags faster and into the chitting trays, they have all grown hair and look like Boris Johnson, and will need a trim, they were a little sweaty, so nothing like ex Prince Andrew, but they can now breath better.

No one has taken any woodchips yet, nice mound

Potatoes in Chitting trays, I need to make some labels up one label for each row as I put 4 in the 30Litre Pots with handles from the looks of things I'm going to need 27 - 28 Pots with handles. Easter Good Friday Falls on 3rd April this year.

I need to find out when the water will be turned on as I have coir blocks to hydrate.

Starbucks Coffee Grounds laid out for breaking up and drying out.
