Last of my limited crop of potatoes, Pink Fir Apple ,were to have been left a little longer but this morning it was evident that a 'critter' had decided they were to be lifted. Odd holes scrabbed, haulms torn out and PFA scattered across the adjacent, newly seeded area. Jury remains out as to whether the guilty party was fox/badger/crow/pheasant. No eaten remains, no droppings, no footprints, no clues at all. Insufficient to have been human, no signs of entry over/under 3ft. stock fence.
Now lifted and drying for storage. At least they have done well, no -dig is great for tatties.
