TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Tater spacing is least of my worries,went in the tunnel yesterday found Tom plants knackered,frost has took the lot,never before,always been at this stage in April without trouble,cab,cauli we transplanted were ok,its not too much of a set back,the stall would normally be out end of April early may selling early planting veg also,eggs etc,this year it will be debatable,back to spuds,spacing is upto the setter,some say 10" some 12" even 20",def put main crop that bit further apart,my camment on this was a bit misleading,apologies!!! its this good old un predictable weather,this time last year alot of garden was planted up,can U just add come on lads n lasses there's not enough pics of your plots put on,past or present lol have a good day Atb Edited April 3, 2013 by TWOTWOTHREE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
