Yay potatoes!

My Swifts now have buds, I'm way behind. ;)

I put two Swift potatoes in each of two pots in the greenhouse on 4th Feb 15. Our first meal for two, all of one pot, was on 2nd May 15. Because of being on holiday our second meal, all of one pot, was on 18th May 15.
The swift in the garden have quite small tops but look healthy enough. Haven't had a "furkle" yet!
I also planted two pots each of two Charlotte in the greenhouse. They seem to have a way to go yet! (the ones in the garden are flowering, but I'm not sure what that tells me!)
