Ok this is now going to be Monday updates for allotment progress. So every Monday I will be updating anyone on my progress, what I've been doing/ planting, even how the allotment is looking.
Ok then last time If I remember right I thought that the potatoes had started to come through. No I was grow as it was just grass. Silly me. But now you can see the potatoes starting to shoot up out of the ground. This is a earlier picture of the potatoes starting their rise up out of the ground.

You knowest an old CD attached to a stick just in front of the potatoes. This is to reflect into the eyes of birds and act like the old scarecrow system. I've been told birds no longer are scare of scarecrows anymore. They mostly just laugh at them.

The image above image 2 is about a week apart from the top image (image 1), while image 3 is another week from image 2. You can see how the potatoes shoot up quick, i can remember when they were just little spuds in a bag. Anyway we've used string to mark out the area for the potatoes so that we know where to water.

In future post once I've learn more I start making video on how to plant potatoes for anyone willing to learn.

Look how they've grown. There are even little flowers starting grow on them, which is a good sign so I've been told. Now all we have to do is wait for the flowers to start dieing which is the sign that the potatoes a ready to dig up.

Something nice to see, two little lady birds taking some time out to get to know each other a little better. I've also been told that ladybirds are good for your plants as they eat other insects that may like eating your plants.
