Episode 30, Making container compost, transplanting potatoes and harvesting spring cabbage.

5th May 2011

Bunty shows how strawberries 'Evita' have moved themselves to the edge of the polytunnel (for more see Strawberry Special ). Explains about blind Brasica seedlings and makes some good compost for summer containers. Harvests the last of the leeks 'Bandit' and the first of the mature spring cabbage 'Duncan'. Bunty shows how rogue potatoes can be transplanted and how sinking your butt into the ground makes it easy to get the watering can out.
