It is important to get some fertiliser incorporated into the seedbed ahead of planting. \ Donal O'Leary
A variable week: Weather dominated what you could do on land over the past week as ground conditions continue to be variable because of either recent rain or heavier ground. Some growers are finished planting, others have some land that has remained too damp to work, while others got rained off yet again.
Rainfall over the week varied from 2.6mm in south Wexford to 53.4mm in east Galway and the month to date varies from either side of 30mm across much of the east coast to 80mm in Mullingar, with even higher amounts further west.
