I went to check my tatties in a grobag weren't too dry tonight and realised that they were all rotting... not just a wee bit. A HUGE mess of rotting folliage right down under the compost to the seed potatoes. 
As I slowly dug the whole thing out is looks like at some point recently the bag may have been knocked over as everything was broken off at a certain level. I think this is why it had then rotted as there was so much rain last week.
I have 2 tatties the size of cherry toms now and no tatties to look forward too.
I was wondering if I could start some off now anyway... ina bucket this time as I think it would be less likely to be knocked over. (I had noticed it was in a slightly different position a couple of weeks ago but it just didn't click at the time, I think it must have been the kids playing football)
I have had a look about for seed potatoes but couldn't see anywhere with any left.
Help my poor tattieless family....
