I explored the winter spuds yesterday. Four out of nine have not come up. In the process I found a few shoots under a few cm of soil by breaking them off. Oops. I've covered them in domes. Hopefully some TLC will help. What a fool. Not my first mistake like this. When dutifully weeding a couple of days after planting them I damaged a couple. They might be the missing ones :(
Yesterday I also attacked a rose whilst Tamsin planted tulips. I beat the rose 5-1. You couldn't see the yew hedge when I started.
Finally, a big compost rethink today. Made the near-house pile smaller and the far pile bigger to encourage stirring.
