massive potato!
« on: October 01, 2008, 18:26:03 »
There was a potato plant growing out of the hatch of my compost dalek, so I thought I would dig around and see what it had produced...



It's just over a foot long and weighs 3.25 pounds.

Have you had any big ones this year?


BTW does anybody want to buy some 'magic' compost?  ;D

I have better use you that potato then eating.
I would use it as seed potato for next season and try to break the bowcock record of 516lbs from one seed potato.
