After they and any weeds that have been hanging on are out I am dumping wet leaves onto the bare soil. Because as well as providing a little bit of tilth once the snow has worked it's majik, these leaves protect the soil from the most intense frosting and so will to give the worms a chance to keep warm enough to help them keep working near the surface.
After washing the potatoes I will leave them out to dry overnight and then keep them in a dark place ready for planting out next year.
A rare joy to be able to be outside on a dry day, a respite from recent storms with the radio on and a cup of tea, finally with plenty of time to do weeding.
Yes I found it, but can't work out how to follow it .... em x
