Earthed up my potatoes this evening and watered them for the first time since I can’t remember when.

Last year I was like an over-anxious parent, feeding, earthing up and watering them at every opportunity. This year I haven’t been bothered. Hope that isn’t a mistake. They seem to be thriving regardless.

Also can’t be bothered to remove the weeds.
