Finally managed to get a delivery date from the manure man, funnily enough it just happens to coincide with a visit by my folks this w/e - have promised them a day out with lots of fresh air ! hee hee
Just need to convince OH that helping to shovel manure is more fun than a w/e dancing in London ...
Despite snow on the ground, decided to sow broad beans, globe artichokes, lavender and sweet peas at the w/e. They are sitting in the potting shed on a nice polystyrene base which should keep them toasty.
Potatoes are chitting nicely, planning to plant in April. Still no sign of shallots yet - have resisted urge to dig one up (just to see), but garlic is looking good.
Watched Ken's 'Growing vegetables with Joe' video - very, erm, interesting. He likes his 'blooming mavellous' (sheep's manure to you and me).
