Narrative:

Aircraft #1 received a clearance at blf. Aircraft #2 departed VFR to receive IFR clearance airborne. I became busy with other duties and forgot to protect the non radar airspace for aircraft #1. I thought aircraft #2 would be out of the way and not a factor. I asked for help at the sector, but it took a while. I didn't have time to monitor the situation at blf and aircraft #1 departed and caught aircraft #2.
