Root crop bed.
Another cold day we have had with a fairly sharp frost.As soon as possible this morning i had my usual fast walk though the vegetable section to check in the tunnel that will supply next years root crops.I managed to work there from 2 pm today.The first bed had any light weeds removed and some new clay added to top up the bed.As roots are light feeders and do best on soil that was manured the previous season then no manure was added to that area.General purpose fertilizer will be raked in around 2-3 weeks before planting the crop.Just before 5 pm that section was complete and ready for the 2010 crop when needed.Some more beds there to have similar at a later stage.Notes will be checked upon later for the next move in that area of the garden.
