    Hey guys was wondering what size of your ealry potatoes you have had this year with all the weird weather we've had.

    We pulled one and was a monster, click here to see a picture of our Monster Spuds.

    One specimin was 750 grams for a new potatoe, we haven't even seen a main crop that size this year, how has yours been, bigger smaller, stranger or didnt even grow spuds, i would like to know.

    News from the plot this week also includes, harvesting runner beans, raspberries, and salds. With good growth seen on the sqaushes, sweetcorn and the leeks.

    Regards

    We have had various sizes including some enormous whoppers, (and one shaped like a duck). Not many teeny ones though, must be the rain.

    Mine have been various sizes too, ranging from small to rather large. I haven't grown potatoes before, so I don't know if this is normal or not. The plants themselves were certainly rather large.

    Our Maris Bard have grown to a decent size, but Sharpes Express are a bit disappointing
