Heavy rain last night and through most of today so no outside work done.
Spotted a few new ideas via the Chelsea flower show on tv . The tomtato plant from Thompson&Morgan but more realistic was the potato pot where you can harvest New potatoes without pulling up the plants. Might attempt to create one of those. Have saved 5 Charlotte and 3 Maris Peer from our food cupboards to trial this idea.

The Tomtato

Agralan's Potato pot

Agralan's website states "Pick your own new potatoes week after week throughout the season with the new Potato pot.New potatoes ready to pick in 8 weeks (10 weeks if the potatoes haven’t been chitted).  Simply lift the inner pot and pick the larger tubers, leaving the smaller ones to grow on."
