Thats an impressive spud

Zippy Seale · « **Reply #4 on:** June 23, 2007, 19:24:51 »

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!

manicscousers · « **Reply #9 on:** July 03, 2007, 18:49:36 »

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 :)

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..... ;D

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

shirlton · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2007, 18:06:55 »

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 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 16, 2007, 18:22:36 »

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

shirlton · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2007, 19:27:04 »

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 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2007, 23:08:01 »

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