4th and 5th January
I have discovered this winter that it is possible to come by money for seeds by selling produce from my plot. I have been selling jerusalem artichoke and some pink fur apple potatoes to one of the local greengrocers who supplies the more up-market restaurants in town. When I delivered a trayful this week he handed me a bag of garlic that had begun to sprout. This was the impetus I needed to get back on the plot and start digging again. I now have about 50 garlic cloves in the ground and I have dug and replanted 12 jerusalem artichokes in a corner by the rhubarb.
