I was busy today with my front steps cutting the paving slabs and taking dog to vets in the afternoon. I didn't get to the plot until 7.20 this evening and stopped fro about an hour. It was a lovely sunny evening so after watering stuff that need it I decided to harvest the Comfrey. It was just on the point of flowering and I have memories of last year when the bees really liked the flowers and I got stung when cutting it down.
I just spred the cuttings over where my tatties are planted, although tatties haven't broke surface yet. It will be a bit of a feed for them when they do.
I then hand weeded a bed and covered it with cardboard, followed by a covering of cheap compost. I watered the bed to allow it to be ready for planting up with Igloo dwarf cauliflowers tomorrow.
Below are a few piccies of cauli bed and area where Comfrey was spread. My Poached egg plants (Limanthus) are also flowering.
