Just a quick one for now  Made the third bed in the vegetable garden and planted half of it with First early potato Arran Pilot (These could have been planted indoors in February but I needed the covered space for other things) the half planted was also planted with broad bean Witkiem Manita and peas were planted on either side, Pea Mange tout Carouby de Mausanne on the western side and pea Early Onward on the eastern side. The bed was dug in this case. (Only to one spade depth) after a dressing of about 3cm of mixed manure and compost was spread over the bed. 

I've been going through the plants I brought with me and many of them including quite a few cuttings from my last project seem to have made it. I'll go into detail on that soon.

I sent in my application form for the diploma in applied Permaculture yesterday so with some luck I'll be qualified in a couple of years.

The picture is of one of the few remaining strawberries after the deer had finished with them. The hungry time for the wildlife is nearly over so hopefully there will be fewer losses now.
