Nice crop- but do people actually water spuds? Even in years of low rainfall no-one does on our site-much to the committee's relief it is just something no-one has ever done. :-\

Well done to you all

I have bags full of the things and only half dug up

Hopefully they will keep over winter.

Are we going into a a thousand and one ways to cook a pud yet?

I think that the warm weather in Aoril really got the potatoes going.  With the dry weather I thought that there would not be many about to buy so planted extra but I now have loads. 

Tesco are selling spuds at between 40p and £2 a kilo, so for 35kg say about £20 worth of spuds. 

Now who says that allotments etc are not good value.

The Irish growers on our plot never water their spuds and always have brilliant crops.
