Very nice...I normally wash them a bit before putting them in the pan though

Not fair.
Nothing under mine at all, although got a huge canopy of leaves. I'm not going to have another furtle until end of the month.
Next year I'll put them in earlier (although I planted them in a hailstorm this year)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Had a sneaky furtle today, and got two Arran Pilot spuds. Small, but perfectly formed. They were very late planted, so I'll leave them alone now for a couple of weeks.Comment

Lifted one of my first earlies today and they're still a little small, but a fair few of them had brown "wettish marks" on them - any ideas what caused that ????Comment

Well i must say after i washed them lol, they tasted so good with plenty of butter over them, still some left for tomozComment

Oh I'm so envious of all you spud harvesters.
I had a little furtle today and NOTHING at all. Well, they're not really due until early July so it's not that surprising, I'm just impatient. I do find it hard to believe that these stems under the ground which are perfectly straight and stemmy will suddenly swell up to produce tubers... do I need to do anything to help them? We've not watered as the clay soil is still moist under the surface - not fed as the bed was thoroughly manured - do I just need patience??Warning: I have a dangerous tendency to act like I know what I'm talking about.
