Plot No 3 newly ploughed in South Park

We managed to time a spell of dry weather with the arrival of the contractor to spread farm yard manure with the arrival of another contractor to do the ploughing. Ploughing finished just as it began to rain again. The plot will now be left for 4 weeks for the grass to die and then it will be cultivated and planted with main crop potatoes in one half and then a conbination of sweetcorn, pumpkin and beans (known in South America as the three sisters)in the other half.
