So the spud challenge is under way, that's me, RK, Shirlton and the Scousers, any other runners, please do not reply with any negativity if you think its too early thats your opinion.Its just a bit of fun with a few under cloches.  ;D ;D ;D      :P
well sorry to burst your bubble but ive won already ;D thats if im allowed to enter being down here in the south west. I planted my potatoes in wooden boxes 4ft x 4ft and about 2ft high using multi purpose compost, on good friday of last year. because of work and the wet weather never harvested all of them and I just left them and there fine, I also have carrots aswell ;D ;D ;D

No sign of anything above ground yet from the first earlies (Colette) that I planted in the ground in late February. But I have made a fairly high mound over them.
Keep Calm and Carry On
