GOLDEN NUGGETS

MM pulled up a few of the early potatoes yesterday........ and the crop is GOOD.
each root has plenty of good sized potatoes.
Now we have FOOD!
Courgettes are hit & miss, some are happy, some are very unhappy!
so far 3 courgettes to eat, more to come soon, fingers crossed.

The only problem I don't think we can do much about is the amount of slugs.
Theres millions of them!

New Potatoes!

Just showing off a bit..........

We planted 4 potatoes in march

3 were the same variety, 1 was different.

One potato bust into action

As you can see, 3 were much slower

The '3' started to catch up

Until the '3' got much bigger than the '1'

The plant closest to the camera was the first 

to show & seems to have given up!

One of the '3' starting to flower

The '3' have completely taken over, 

Time to have a look to see if we have 

any food?

SM dives in to harvest the spuds!

Now we know the '1' plant was an early

& the '3' are main crop Desiree

So we have finally got some food

'1' down '3' to go

I am hoping there is a few more at the bottom of the container

I ll have a good dig around in a few days, if not 

I might steal a few red potatoes from under one of the other plants! 

The main reason for this was to see the if & how of growing potatoes in containers, 

we'll maybe use this method to grow potatoes for xmas?
