The Chef was impatient, the potato seed was becoming wizened, so
he planted his potatoes in the plot. The Chef worked on the soil
to warm it up. In the morning, he dug a 4″ trench when the sun
was shining & covered it with fleece. By 3pm the soil had warmed
up to 7 degrees. So, he planted the seed potatoes in the bottom
of the trench and covered them with a thin layer of soil. Fleece
was then placed over the top of the planted potatoes to keep the
warmth in. One row of Maris Bard potato seed was planted about
12″ apart. About 15 tubers were planted altogether. There are
still a lot of jobs to do in the garden in November,
