Spuds something new?

[Potstubsdustbins]

Well its new to me.

This year by mistake I ordered pre chitted spuds (Accord) by mistake. They proved OK and I got my first boiling after just 71/2 weeks. When I havested I noticed that the original seed potatoes looked in very good condition so nothing ventured nothing gained I put them in an egg box in the lean to.

The result can be seen in the pic below, I think I may have just got my Christmas spuds for free. If it works guess who will be ordering pre chitted next year.

Very cool good luck mate would like to see wot happens and what kind of a second harvest you get from them

[Potstubsdustbins]

Well the first old set planted 14 days ago has took root and is now growing. Don't know how far I will get with this but its is free and I love free.

Did check mine when I harvested a few buckets but the seed spud was knocked and a little rotten ..

They usually are its the first time its happened to me in over 20 odd years.

Bit of luck never hurt anyone, it might be the start of a run of it Colin. Let us know what kind of harvest you get.

[Potstubsdustbins]

FF I will keep everyone informed. I have no idea what I will get but as I said I love FREE so will wait and see.
