Planting Sweet Potatoes

Today was the day that I have been looking forward to since I harvested my other beginner sweet potatoes. I took cuttings off the old stock and grew them in jars in water till they had a healthy supply of roots.

As you can see I have prepared the bed. I gave it a dose of biochar, worm casting, compost, blood and bone with potash and sheep poo to condition the sandy soil here. 

After planting, I  then gave them a good water with my rich nitrogen pricing tea, comfrey and worm wee, diluted of course.

my brew!

Also I spotted some asparagus beginning to make an appearance but I won't be picking any as they are just getting established, even though shortly after this photo was taken, Django took it upon himself to break it off.

I will keep you up to date on the gardens progress throughout the season.
