Sieved some soil my mate was throwing out and topped up all my 4 spuds in their tubs with it. ;)

On the other hand, in the hot bed, hen's egg size ;D
I'm being good and leaving it another week ;D

Still topping mine up in the tubs, the two in the soil are a good few weeks behind. ;D

Hope everyone's spuds survived the frost :-\

Or was it sack barrows out and dragged them into the living room to keep warm ;)

Ours look the healthiest spuds ever from the top. Will have a little firkle tomorrow.

manicscousers · « **Reply #176 on:** May 09, 2011, 17:02:05 »

Found 8 larger than a hen's egg in the hot bed so, salmon and new potstoes with our salad ;D

Eeeh, sorry, I'm too tired to think nearly. The four in the big tub - one is thinking about flowering I think. The one next to it has buds and the two behind them are um behind. Two in sacks and the two in pots are stocky, green and healthy looking like the in ground maincrop. I'm not expecting much from the pots and sacks after the heatwave though. I'll have a firkle tomorrow.

shirlton · « **Reply #178 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:41:55 »
