Potatoes Planted Finally!

Today I spent about 1 hour 1/2 of the evening being able to finally to plant my potatoes into the allotment. I first tilled over the plot using my Mantis Tiller then I took out furrows using the furrow attachment of the tiller. I then put Horse Manure into the furrows and planted two rows of First Early Potato 'Rocket' 2ft between the rows, 12 inches between each potato and 6 inches deep meaning I could fit 13 potatoes in each row with a foot left at the end of each row. I then covered these and will earth them up as needed. I will also buy some fleece in the near future to also cover them to protect them from any frost.
