    I just planted my early spuds, and have the following left over:

    4 x Rocket - First Earlies
    4 x Nicola - Second Earlies

    As well as:

    4 x Shallot Red Sun

    I'll gladly post em this week to whoever wants em, as I have no space for any more.

    Postage will cost more than the spuds!

    Windy - they're yours!

    Email me your address and I'll put them in the post.

    Your raised bed looks great to me.

    Well done

    Hi Windy,

    I got your message. I will post to you on Saturday, unless I can get to a post office sooner.

    Dont worry about postage costs !

    I've got all but one spud with shoots, the one without had lost its sprout in transit, so I'm not counting it as a failure!! :D

    The Nicolas are doing better than the Rockets at the mo, and you can see them grow that little bit more every day [​IMG]
    I'll post a piccie later...

    I've got courgettes growing away in the bathroom,
    toms in the kitchen. I've had to evict the 'dwarf' runners as they are enormous :eek: The kids have grown tiny toms, sunflowers and herbs which are all desperate to be potted on and I just need God to put another few hours in the day :rolleyes: :D
    This is such a buzz!!! Hoping to finish the decking area this week and then I can make another raised bed because I've gone a bit veg mad [​IMG] :D :D

    Hi oktarine. Are your Shallot Red Sun still on offer or have you now found a home for them?
