Week 12 - Bed 5 Planting

We prepared this bed as a lazy bed, which involved cutting out a piece of sod with as much topsoil as remained attached, and turning it upside-down. The surface of the bed was then worked over with a sharp spade to break up the clods slightly. In this roughly prepared bed we planted:

  • Express Broad Bean (4 short rows) - a fast maturing longpod variety growing 60cm tall
  • Orla Potatoes (21 sets) - a 1st early variety with creamy white oval tubers with light yellow flesh
