Everyone I talk to says they've planted potatos already. Are mine the only seed potatos still sitting in their egg boxes?

It's just too damp and muddy to dig the plot.

Its our weeping cherry tree - bsolutley gorgeous for 2 weeks of the year but a damned nuisance (right in the middle of a tiny garden) for the rest of the time! I won't let anyone cut it down tho'....I love trees

I've put about 10 in a week ago, when I told my French neighbour he looked at me like I was mad
It's been too wet....I may do some tomorrow if we don't get more rain overnight.
