May Hay.. or at least.. get ready to plant tatters, while the sun shines !

Its sunny ! the ground is seriously starting to dry out, & today we got the midden spread on tattie & veg patch no1. Finaly it feels like we are getting some place this year, although not without its frustrations. The 160 blocks that were supposed to be delivered to the ferry so we can finish the new pig run, did not appear, yes, as you can imagine, phone calls were made and the air turned slightly blue. We need this project finished within the next 2 weeks.


Anyhoo that Aside, I recieved a tip off that the program of events for this years had been posted. On checking it, I can only add that I am so glad I opted to camp for the 10 days that Im out (along with 4 others from various parts of the world) as the camp site is a mere 5 mins walk from where most of the workshops are held. It looks like Im going to return home pretty knackered ! but, with late night sessions at least someone had the brain wave not to start the daily tutoring workshops till 10.30am !

Myself and mini-me planted some tatties yesterday, but not sure if we did it right or not. We dug a trench about 5" deep and put the tatties in there and not in the mound which resulted from the digging. I hope we did it right !!. Good luck with yours Fair Isle..

We've 100kg of tattie seed to plant this year, thankfully.. we use the peerie tractor to plough & rotovate & then set the drills up before planting, but after than comes hours of mind numbing dibbin holes & planting the tatties 1 by 1, & with the teens out at school, no slave labour either !
