Spud challenge is under way.

My ones in the ground have just got their flowers, I was going to firkle the ones in the toy tub today but it was so windy today I gave it a miss, maybe tomorrow.     ;D ;D ;D

When are we due to dig them up?

[hopalong]

My Colette, which I planted in the open ground at the end of February, started flowering a few days ago.  I firkled a plump one for my friend's grandson when he visited on Wednesday and she said he enjoyed eating it for his dinner.  I'm away for a week now and hope to dig some up on return.

 Had a firkle today and ureka

[cornykev]

Well the big dig up date was the weekend of Trevor D and Tony Blokes birthday 5/7 of June but if I leave some of them for another two weeks I think some of them will get too big for new spuds so I'm going to dig some up on Monday because the outlaws are staying so I thought I'd dig some up for our dinner.    :o    ???     ;D ;D ;D

[manicscousers]

Tone, I have a camera, but she dropped off some carpet earlier and took the spuds home and they were steamed by the time I got home, but I still don't know how to post piccies. My meal for four was from one plant in the ground and one in the tub, but I didn't disturb them too much some hopefully there a good few more to come off them yet.     ;D ;D ;D
