International Kidneys Lifted

Also known as "Jersey Royals" but we cannot call them that unless they are grown in Jersey. 56lb in total...



Steve...

 

Looks like a good crop, I've just started harvesting my IKs grown in bags.

How many did you plant?

 

5KG I think it was, 60 tubers give or take so roughly 1lb of taters per plant. A couple of pound where immediately swapped with another plot holder for half a dozen Duck eggs, which we had last night.

Blimey,

Nice one Steve.

When I saw your thread title, I thought it was a service you were offering

Bit like those roadsigns you see, Cats eyes removed. I always want to write "while you wait" under those.

I only planted 3 International Kidneys

 

Thanks, that really helps with my comparison. I've just weighed the IKs harvested from two (B&Q rubble) bags yesterday, with two tubers per bag and they weighed 3lbs 15⅞ozs. So virtually nothing in it.

But if they hadn't been in bags (and taken into my poly tunnel) they would have been frosted by that -3°C I got back in May that knocked all my spuds right down the ground level even though they were covered up.

 

They had had 12 weeks, they had flowered and I needed the space John..other crops to go in and this part is already dug over.
