I said I wasn't going to grow spuds this year but had a weak moment at the corner shop and ended up with 20 seed potatoes. Time for an experiment. 
I had 6 x 30ltr pots, each about a third full with last year's Hotbin compost. I bunged 3 or 4 spuds in each and covered them with freshly cut grass cuttings as I didn't want to use proper compost.
I've put the pots on a sheet of Onduline corrugated roofing that came off the garden shelter - because it was warped. Hopefully, this will slow the slugs up as they are the main reason why I don't grow spuds.
Fed & watered the tomato and strawberry plants in the GH and outdoor planters.
Cut back the forsythia, with its honeysuckle and cotoneaster companions before they reach across to the pear tree and strangle it. Found the remains of last year's blackbird nest in the middle of it. Hoping that the birds have found a safer place to nest this year out of reach of the dogs.
