My late spud harvest results

[Cue the Toms]

Hi guys

Apologies for my recent absence. Our family has had a very tough time of late. My sister lost her baby after being born at just 30 weeks of pregnancy for the second time! Then soon after that, my brother in law took his own life at just 35 years of age totally out of the blue!

Anyway, things are slowly getting back to as normal as possible and after some very wet weather of late my spuds weren't looking to healthy so I took the decision to lift them today. Ideally another 2/3 weeks would have been perfect, but the results were very good considering how late in the year they went in. From 50 seed potatoes the yield returned approx 22lb:



I was more than happy and will be enjoying some lovely roasties tomorrow, along with some baby carrots that I also collected.

I have been asked to moderate on another forum that has just been started from scratch so although I will be around on here, I will also be dedicating some time to that too.

It's nice to be back posting again, and I look forward to future happier times.

Thanks everyone

Chris

So sorry to hear about your family problems Chris.
The good news is your spuds look great and they'll taste even better And the even better news is that the more time you spend on your other Forum, the less opportuntiy you'll have to bait me

Thanks VC... Have no fear re the baiting because, all the time that you are posting I will be around to bait you

The forum that I am a moderator on isn't a fruit n veg one. It's a football one. That is my other passion.

I have a few days off next weekend so hopefully I can get on with some allotment duties that have taken a back seat over the last couple of weeks!

It's great to be back here to check up on everyone too

Have no fear, I am back
