[selfraising]

Had my second lot of International Kidney last night aka Jersey Royals, delicious!!!

Couldn't resist any longer, so I harvested one sack where the foliage had died down a bit, and got some, had for tea and were delicious. Not bad eh?

After furtling I dug up two shy's of Duke of York and got enough for supper and Sunday dinner. Seemed a shame as the tops were still in full growth but it was worth robbing a few!

I've just been for a furtle and gathered enough Charlotte potatoes for our tea tonight! Woo hoo! Also got a half dozen scallions, and some baby carrots.

Not much but it's a great feeling to be harvesting at last!

Up here they call the potato stalks above ground "Tattie Shaws", so I guess a 'shy' is the Olde English equivalent.

Its exciting isn't it? digging your hand into the soil and lifting out the first potatoe of the year, i think thats what gardening is about, experienceing things for yourself and not just buying them in plastic bags from supermarkets
