New potatoes - in February

new potatoesWe dug these potatoes from two of our potato towers this afternoon. We had planted them on 23 August 2004, thinking it might be nice to have new potatoes by Christmas, but somehow never got round to lifting them.

Twenty-four potatoes (weighing 400 g) from an August planting of 12 tubers is probably not a brilliant success rate, but it’s nice to be able to lift new potatoes in February - it really feels like Spring is on the way.

P.S. Just eaten some of the spuds for tea. V. good.

    John, the girls checked the blog for days afterwards to see if you’d replied. They’ve stopped checking now! Go on, leave us another blog. OK, Rog says only sad people have time to blog but that makes two of us eh?

    Sorry girls, thank you for your kind comments about my potatoes! If there were any left I would post them to you but they might not be in good condition by the time they got to you.
