I planted my last 10 spuds yesterday. I have had 3 rows in the ground for a month already, cant tell if what's coming up is weeds or spuds - so my wizard wheeze, and possible tip for the horticulturally challenged like me who dont think they'll recognise their future crop was to..... plant a purple lolly stick with every spud!!! looks quite pretty too, but hopefully it means I will be able to weed around the place without worrying that I am pulling spuds not weeds.

Where do you get purple lolly sticks from then? can't remember the last lolly I had... :-)To see a world in a grain of sand

F&V - do still take care with your weeding as the shoots can come up a fair way from the central point of the spud, especially if growing on a ridge. If in doubt,leave it!!!
Good idea though!
