Thats an impressive spud

[Celtic_Growers]

sorry but I just had to find this one today
a whopping 24.8oz  or 703 grams.


with 8 over 400grams, 3 over 500grams I am quite amazed at the size
But this I doubt I will beat for a large second early

I also had a peek at my main crop spuds,  and they are some size already!

[ChrisG]

WOW those look amazing!!!!

Here are a few Estima

[cambourne7]

once you have dug a row are you planting anything in the space??

[manicscousers]

estima bed planted up with leeks, spring onions, 2 rows of peas..this is going to be next year's squash bed so the leeks will be out in plenty of time 

[cambourne7]

ah., on advice from this helpful site and this link (http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/organiccrop/tools2.html) I decided to plant 4 courgette plants in the space the potatoes were in.

I have enough spuds for dinner for the rest of the week, so when i pull the next row i will plan another pumpkin i have ready to transplant.

I've put some Marshmello strawberries where my Rocket spuds were, and am also filling the gaps as others are harvested with courgettes and squashes.....

International Kidney.  Will definately grow these again, a lovely large, oval, clean spud.  No damage and good and creamy.

[shirlton]

1 root of ratte ( a friend gave me the spuds last year) and on the right 2 roots of anya. I know which I will be growing next year for salad

[Mrs Ava]

All of those from one plant Shirl, wow, I will add them to my list for next year!

[shirlton]

Yes Emma We couldn't believe our eyes. My daughter Bunjy dug some up on her plot from the seed I gave her and hers were even better. I really didn't expect them to have done any good on our waterlogged plot in Sutton so it was a bonus I just wished that I had put them on the other plot thats got nice sandy soil instead of clay. I will do it next year and then we will have a bloomin drought

[Mrs Ava]

Kestrel.  I couldn't dig very deep....not supposed to be digging at all, but these big boys were close to the surface!

[shirlton]

Now thats a big un.lol
