Signs of spring

Thirty-four degrees at 1pm. Still windy.

Planted potatoes today, on a kind of reverse psychology basis. Last year M planted 25 kilos of seed potatoes and the yield was about 20 kilos. This year I planted only 5 kilos of seed potatoes on the expectation that they will think themselves all alone in the world and reproduce like crazy. In gardening, ANYthing is worth a try!

And we cut the grass for the first time this year.

It's been a couple of days now since we've fired up Mathilda. Perhaps she's on the way to being put into mothballs for the summer.
