Potting strawberry runners and our best potato crop this year
We are planning a new strawberry bed for next year. To get started, we are going to see if we can grow some plants from this year’s strawberry runners. We might buy a couple of different varieties if we are successful at getting these runners to grow. Last year, our Sagitta potatoes produced the best crop of the year and once again they have produced an excellent crop even in this drought affected year.

4 days to plant sweet Williams due to the drought.
It took us four afternoons at the allotment to plant out our sweet Williams. The ground is so dry due to the lack of rain that we initially needed to water the bed just to get the weeds out.
