Two things came up on tonight's GW programme which have been discussed
here recently.
One was how to plant begonia tubers; they said leave top uncovered but
cover later when stems have formed to encourage each to root.
The other was Joe's digging hoe. Is that what someone here
recommended? I don't think it would be easy to plant with it, which
was one use they mentioned.

They must have done an awful lot of cultivation and soil improvement
in Feb. First it was a muddy quagmire, and the next we saw they were
planting things like trees and bulbs with no sign of mud, just nice
friable soil. I'd love to know how they did it!
