Some photos from Sean of his potatoes before they are going to be earthed up. The ones in the blue bags are Salad Blues and the other is Charlotte. The rain is coming tomorrow but make sure that the compost in your bags is…

Today’s photos are from Andrea. Apparently Tony checks on the bags every day, it’s obviously working as they are looking great!
