Another productive day!!!

Finally it feels like the veggies are growing quicker than the weeds, really cant believe the potatoes grow so fast. Also had my first glimpse of a new potato that was accidentally unearthed! Slightly smaller than a golf ball i would say.

As you can see in the pictures Evie really enjoys being at the Lottie, however messy she gets its always a bath as soon as she gets home.

Jobs we done today was to get some more sprouting broccoli planted, weed the whole plots and made our own organic fertiliser. To do this we basically pulled up a load of nettles from the nearby ditch and screwed them up to put in our full water butt. We will now leave this for atleast 30 days with which it should have broken down enough to use. Apart from getting stung a dozen times and looking slightly weird walking along the nearby ditch pulling up random stinging nettles I recommend anyone doing this on a budget as it costs didderly squat.
