I lifted one plant of winston and got 4.6lbs of spuds.
The container held one potato that was left with just 2 eyes on it and held 17litres of compost.

Ower Tone dug up 2 roots of rocket and got over 8lb and they were a good size too. I want to finish the rocket so that I can start eating the Pentland Javelin
