Gonna Need a Bigger Bucket

And thats only half of the Charlottes

 

That's a lovely crop Ziggy!

 

nice one Ziggy

 

OOhh the flavour is a Googleplex from anything shop bought, can't wait till I dig up the maincrop, they were second earlies.

 

Charlottes, 2nd earlies, yes? Isn't it a bit late for those?

 

Fantastic Ziggy... bet you weren't as excited as i was when i dug mine up...First time i'd grown them you see...It took me 2 days to sober up !!

 

They were planted late, a gift from a friend who had bought too many seed spuds. Left them in till the tops had died back so they will keep better, still using up the 1st earlies.

 

Its always good when you dig them up, even after years of growing them Only had 1 that was slug damaged too

 

Mrs Scrungee was just lke a big kid this afternoon diving into the soil to get spuds as soon as i lifted the fork:

From 2 rows of Desirees (and 7 more rows to go plus 40 Sarpo Mira plants and loads of odds & ends I got from the Homebase giveaway, plus 3 sacks of Kestrels in the shed - I'm wondering where it's all going to be stored).




Best year for spuds I can remember despite being frosted and then a few months with a severe lack of rain, but at least they were all finished and the tops cut off before any blight arrived and it's a pleasure digging them out of dusty dry soil.

 

Hiya Ziggy.

So, I presume the skins have ripened?

BTW, a Neil Young fan?

 

Hi Scrungee - superb crop of spuds. But just to go off an a tangent - what camera do you use Every pic you take is pin point sharp focus - you took a pic of your box of garlic on another post that would have won a prize in my book My birthday is coming up soon - so I may trade-in my pocket camera with built in flash - below - for a new one :D

 

Panasonic Lumix TZ8. The newer/better version, TZ10 has been on sale at Argos recently for £159.99, and at some stage there was a further £10 off that, but there only seems a few left - try inputting 559/4205 at iCheckStock - Argos Check and Reserve - Click and Collect Nationwide

 

Thanks Scrungee. I'll see what my birthday and christmas bring
