  • Pathetic Potatoe harvest

    Well, here I am again. The clown gardener with a pathetic yield of red spuds from a large pot fed with 2 or 3 seed, organic potatoes fertiliser and a little bfb. Kept well watered and yet this........ 😭

    I had to cut the foliage back as there were signs of blight but it shouldn't have had this effect. Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_20240926_144617_edit_1818749223679770.jpg Views:	2 Size:	1.72 MB ID:	2585803

    When did you plant them, and when did you cut back the foliage?

      I can't rightly remember but it was cut about a month ago, leaving one bit of foliage unaffected.

        Marb, were they first or second earlies.
        Were they bought from a garden centre or supermarket saved potatoes.
        That looks like a very poor return for two or three seed potatoes.

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.
