Poor Results from Potatoes

Hi All

I am not sure about the rest of the country but my potatoes in the south east are very poor only a few tubers and smaller than usual. How did your potatoes do??

 

Not so good, only got third prize this year

Yield was down a bit as they got blighted as they were flowering, but did get a few monster ones.

 

Not dug mine yet.
Will do in a couple of weeks.

 

Still got plenty of earlies grown in bags, got approx 30 Kg of bakers from growing big spuds and haven't even started started digging up what's in the ground.

Didn't stop me from getting these on Sunday, 7Kg of Perline for 70p

 

Hi All
Glad some of you have done okay, I dug up a few more rows yesterday and much the same down about 60% on the usual harvest. Looks like I need to add some manure to the soil. Is now a good time if the manure is fresh??

Thanks

Dave

 

Best stack the manure for 6 weeks to rot down first

 

My crop was about the same as usual, could have been better, could have been worse.

 

Mine were a dismal FAIL!!! (boo! Hiss!!!) SE also.
Wouldn't have minded half so much but this is my first year in a Potato COMPETITION!!
I'm going to tell them Mr "M" planted them
