    This is the harvest from one volunteer potato.
    This little lot grown in one of those sacks.

    Good selection you have there Capney.
    My outdoor toms are finished too. Like you I rescued the last of them the other day. I've had great crops all summer and no blight this year.

    Nice haul there. Got 6 that finally ripened & didn't come down with the blight.

    your toms look good - mine finished a couple of weeks ago...still enjoying eating them though!. I got some odd shaped toms too this year for the first time ever & also had no blight - are we talking reaction to the strange weather maybe?.
