I had prepared 1 1/2 beds previously so I felt ready to get some potatoes in. I put two packets of the Rooster ones from Wilkies. I measured the spaces in between as directed on the packet (left 2 foot between each spud and 1 foot between each row). I put string up to show the rows as it looks like nothing is there until they start shooting up (hopefully!!).
In bed 2 I put some lettuces (kept the red ones in one row and the green in the other 2 rows!). I finished the bed off with onions.

I dug a bit of a trough, filled with water and then planted and covered. It felt like a proper allotment once these were planted !!
Watered everything again before I left as the heat was intense and drying out the soil quickly.
