First Early potatoes are in the ground!

At last we are getting on with the veggie patch. Up here in NE Scotland we are still fearful of a frosty night, but the ground is at last diggable. Note the second bed where the black plastic sheet is helping the earth to warm up, ready for whatever the Head Gardener decides goes there.
Over to the right is the Bed by the Hedge (our neighbour's hedge) where the green compost of Comfrey is showing, and the Daffodils for cutting for the house have been battered by the wind.

Down at the bottom, beyond which is the railway, the raspberry cage area needs a lot of attention, but right of them are the blueberry bushes, and they are showing buds.

Incidentally, the railway is the single track old Great North of Scotland Line, Aberdeen to Inverness. There used to be a straight through early evening train to the West Coast, and every time I saw 'Kyle of Lochalsh' on the destination board on the front my heart would lift. Now you have to change at Inverness, and the romance has gone out of it. But the West Coast still calls to me...
