our first new spuds

[vron]

Hi there everyone, it's been a very long time since my last post.

I hope everyone on this GYO forum is doing ok with their lotties.

We dug up our first crop of new spuds (swift) on the 6th June (planted 30th March)

From 4 plants we had more than enough small/med spuds for 2 of us for 3 good meals.

There was a little slug damage on a few, so were glad we checked them when we did.

Will be lifting more tomorrow 15th June. They were so scrummy.

Welcome back again vron! I've also just started harvesting my early tatties that I planted in tubs. Enjoying them with some home grown mint to go with them and a bit of butter and pepper.

btw they're two fine specimens you have on your avatar! I've always had a soft spot for German Shepherds and the six month old pup I have is proving a bit of a handful at the mo

Welcome back Vron.
Yes you can get great potatoes from containers. Glad yours worked well.

How sad am I - I take piccies of my potatoes, lettuce, rhubarb and all sorts
