  • Spuds - my earliest crop

    Not bad eh? Pulled them up yesterday. Spuds all year round? (You may need 'special talents')

      Don't think they're knobbly enough for pink fir apples - sorry. They do look nice - whatever they are.

              found the spuds whilst demolishing old compost bin.. guess there was a warm corner they could overwinter in - if only I could work out how to reliably recreate that - some sort of challenge perhaps!

                They are not pink fir apple... See below

                Pink Fir Apple - Main crop

                I was going to suggest Desiree -
                Desiree - Main crop


                Don't think they are Red Duke York ... look too big from my experience

                  ah no - thanks 4shoes - they must be Red Duke York - haven't grown the others... was about 2 or 3 years ago so they've hidden themselves well....

                  - Seems I can grow bigger than usual Red Duke for February cropping - though I am MOM

                      The prize, Baldy, is the tatties themselves! Bet they're lovely.

                        Definitely not pink fir, the potato I first thought of when seeing the photo was Kerrs pink, have you ever grown or bought them?. But what ever type of potatoes they are its a good crop at any time of year let alone winter
                        it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.
