Saturday, March 28
Adrian, Sam's husband, who gardens for us, planted the early potatoes yesterday. I always warm the ground by covering it with fleece for a month beforehand. Fortunately, he is as anal about straight lines as I am.
Pam took all these photographs - from a distance -. I was still in bed, reading a Michael Connelly, Bosch book.

| Harlequin is no longer available, I'm trying Anya this year. Good, strong, chits. |
 |
| Adrian gardens on his knees.metre rule in front of him, bulb planter at the ready. I find the latter the most effective way of planting all potatoes and vegetable plants. |
 |
| The wood beyond the dyke at the bottom of the garden, holds a small herd of Red Deer, occasionally glimpsed through the trees as they pass through. |
 |
| Potatoes planted and earthed up. Fleece ready for re-covering whilst there is still danger of frost. The small orchard on the right is next week's job. Clearing the ground of grass and weeds under the trees. The three trees in the photo are: Victoria Plum, Cherry and Conference Pear. |

| Dark-sided Bee-fly. A much better photo than mine. |
