One out of two spuds in the ground has finally shaken the soil from it's head, the ones in the tubs are going well, one is romping. :D

If you had planted two you could have compared the harvests. :P

My Swift potato in a bucket inside the dustbin is doing well. I may lift the bucket out so it can get more light, it is looking a bit spindly.

I have just planted the rest of the Swifts at the allotment. Hope this lovely weather stays a while.
