POTATOES
Bought seed potatoes this morning, 60 each of linzer delikatesse and daisy
Linzer delikatesse:
very early: 75 days from planting to harvest,
blight-resistant, yellow skin & flesh, waxy
Daisy:

blight-resistant, yellow skin & flesh, good for baking

These are now chitting in the pantry

POLYTUNNEL
This is the plan for the serre (polytunnel).
We were given the arches by Paul & Tina Hale when they sold their farm at Kerodou.
Foundations - concrete layer and breeze blocks, with plastic pipes embedded to take the uprights. The foudation of concrete hasbeen poured and we are finishing laying the breeze blocks today.
