Missing the plot

Nothing more to say about the weather...I'll bore myself.

I did pop over to the plot for the first time in 2014 a couple of weeks ago for 10 mins just to take a look. I was expecting carnage but the only thing amiss (literally) was the compost bin I had started filling with veg leftovers.  Then I had an hour last Sunday to plant the 20 raspberry canes (10 Polka and 10 Glen Ample), 1 blackcurrant bush (Big Ben) and 1 gooseberry bush (Invicta) I'd bought from Blackmoor Nurseries.  I had to work fast and just plonked them in really.  The canes were a bit close together and had been bare rooted for 4 days in a bag but hopefully they'll live.  

Soon it'll be time to starting thinking about sowing seeds on the windowsill...
