Tatties

[burnie]

How well are you spuds doing? I have 3 varieties growing, pink fir apples, red duke of York and some I have forgotten what they are....doh
PFA's and my over wintered onion sets


Red duke on the left and the unknowns on the right, you can just see the flowers starting.

Your tatties are huge compared to mine! My biggest are probably only 4 inches tall at the moment, and they got a little frost bitten a while ago, so they don't look great, but they're putting on lots of new foliage. The rest are smaller than that. I did plant out fairly late I thought though.

My first and second earlies are about that big. Possibly a bit bigger, actually. They're in pots on my patio, so it's nice and warm.
I'll probably harvest the first lot at the beginning of June, just before I go away on holiday (I also have some other stuff I want to plant in that pot before I go away), and then the rest should be ready when I get back.

These are mine at home:

Lady C



Desiree



Charlotte



Nicola



(Apologies for photo quality - really difficult in bright morning sunshine).

There are also Nicola, Lady C and Maris Bard at the allotment which are a bit bigger as they have more sun.

Think mine are doing ok. I've got some over wintered purple majesty and a couple of others that I can't remember. 6 bags of rooster and a bag of probably pink fir apple rescued from the compost bin.

I just pinched a flower off mine,only seen one though,I’m still planting them out but this is six bags & two big tubs of Desiree,Charlotte,Linzer Delikatess & Arran Pilot,the plastic bottles are for planting next to my cucumbers,they’re reusable-

Arran Pilot doing really well:


Kestrel doing well too:

I also have Desiree and King Edward growing on .

For some reason Pentland Javelin seems behind everything else.

I only planted my pink fir apple potatoes out last week, they took absolute AGES to sprout this year compared to last so wondering if I've got a poorer crop coming now..fingers crossed anyway

[Thelma Sanders]

My Arran Pilots have started flowering, but when I furtled one tub, there were no tubers to speak of, so I'll leave them a few more weeks

patience is the best thing for growing spuds! they'll grow , some may be small & some may be big ! but they all taste good when you grow your own ! atb Dal.

Tatties are doing well with all this rain, red duke of York on the left and I'm not sure what the ones on the right are, lol
