A fine part of the world Manics ;D

BTW - my spuds (the leaves) are being munched by snails :-X I've no idea whether any spuds will survive it. memo to self, if I try this again next year, don't grow them in the garden !

Be careful if you go to Hastings, my mate Harry went there once, minding his own buisness and some bugger had his eye out. :o

Spuds, I knew there was something else, firkled mine Saturday and there was some decent sized ones, may have a few out tonight. ;D ;D ;D

LOL at you and your mate Harry, Kev :D

4 of my Arran Pilot have buds and the other is still thinking about flowering.

I also have a Pink Fir Apple or Charlotte volunteer which got missed in the upheaval of reconstructing the garden so it'll be interesting to see what Mother Nature has given me as a bonus :)

Lifted one root of Lady C on Wednesday and a second on Thursday; in each case plenty for a meal for the two of us. And now it's starting to rain, which should do the rest of them a power of good.

Sorry - no photos. I must remember to pay Dan again.

Hugely busy weekend (I'm on a coffee break) while it is dry here but my other half is away from tomorrow so they can stay where they are. I emptied a small pot midweek though and there was enough for a meal for the two of us which is good considering I've not been able to give them much attention.
