Mush ! Mush !
Well, I got the roof bars, from Halfords, so now can move stuff about on top of the motor. Just need something to move!
Measured and marked out the future potato patch. Then remeasured and remarked out again, once i actually had an idea of the dimensions i need. 16ft by 10ft the patch will be, that will allow 2 rows of first earlies, 2 rows of second earlies, and 3 rows of maincrop spuds, all at the correct spacings 'by the book'. This includes a bit extra around the edge, and a wider gap down the middle for me to walk between the crops. Totals about 64 plants, 10 in each of the early rows, and 8 in each of the maincrop rows. Drawn a nice plan showing the layout, no doubt i will have lost it by the time i get the seed spuds. Anyway, as usual by the time i had done the marking out it had started to rain, so a quick bit of hoeing around the garlic, carrots and spring cabbage and that was the lot for outside.
Visited The Range in Doncaster on way to pick Sam up from grandmas, officially to get stuff needed for Marlon and Emma, our two canaries, and to find a spray bottle so i can keep my mushrooms moist. £45 later and we emerge with bird feeders, windmills, a Bonsai tree, and loads of other stuff. I did manage to get a sprayer, a little round one for 60p, cute thing just right for the job. Sam watched as i put the compost on top of the spawned straw and i told him why i was spraying the compost, then we put the lightproof lid on and put the mushroom kit on top of the microwave, which i think is a pretty warm spot. Sam then went to bed.
