10th Post about the Container Garden and it's a good one for planting!
As the first of May dawned this morning, I realised I still hadn't planted any potatoes. Everything seems to be late this year! So I went to the Garden Centre and purchased 6 Red Skinned Potatoes for 99p but I can't recall there name something like Sereen.
I used 1 and a half bags of organic compost and filled the planters around 1/2 full. Then planted the chitted potatoes, only 3 as they are small but long containers. I then covered them.
I will add more compost as the potato shoots show through as this encourages more potatoes to grow.
I didn't riddle the compost with the potatoes as I tent to find they grow OK is loosely forked compost rather than every lump removed like for the carrots.
Move on down for the Tomato
I saw a really interesting post by 
So I started off one Grushkova Tomato Seed, another non GM Seed from the Real Seed company, the same I attempted to grow last year.
I have made a DIY Cloche out of the top of the bottle of coke to act as a mini greenhouse as my current one is being used by the 3 Peppers Plants, which are also doing well.
The Good News
After what feels like an eternal wait I have finally reached top of the waiting list for an allotment!!!
Allotment number 32 will hopefully be shared by myself and my friend very soon. I am looking forward to this as although it is a lot of extra work I will be able to grow varieties that I am unable too in my Container like Pumpkins (non Vine of course), Beans, Vine Squash, potentially tomatoes too depending on how they go.
The allotments are a short 5 minute walk from my house which is brilliant too. They have no electric so all the work will be manual. However upon a quick gaze at the potential patch from over the wall it appears to be covered in black liner. So maybe some of the hard work will already be done - If I was looking at the right allotment atleast!
