Ok i'll start us off.

These are "Rocket", i would have had more but we just had the smaller ones for tea tonight. Excellent!!!

Managed to get around 25 out of two black buckets (free ones from the superstore, one seed potato to each bucket)

Had only about  2.5lbs of Vivaldi  from a bag Saturday week ago.  There were a lot of mini spuds in the top half of the bag so I reckon that I had a) underwatered and b) picked too soon.
