We shuffled these out of the pot last weekend. Seems that most people have pulled early though !!!!
If it's not on fire it's a software problem

Will look at mine in a day or two when I have finished eating the leftovers from last nights BBQ. I do like them straight from ground to pot.

the results are in ...... insert drum roll.......... and the only description I can find to sum them up is pathetic! Grown in a sack, lots of tiddlers. Not sure there is even enough for 2 of us. But I will try growing them early again next year, but this time in the ground  ::)

red Duke of York from a couple of weeks ago were better, not brilliant, but very tasty  :)

Dug up mine to make room in the giant cloche for other stuff, didn't expect much because the plants didn't look very well, but the potatoes were fine, chicken egg size.  Lookind forward to dinner tonight.  Probably could have dug them earlier.  This really works, thanks for the suggestion, Kev.  I won't need persuading next year  :)
