A fine part of the world Manics  ;D

BTW - my spuds (the leaves) are being munched by snails  :-X I've no idea whether any spuds will survive it. memo to self, if I try this again next year, don't grow them in the garden !

looking forward to taking spuds to my down there family  ;D

Be careful if you go to Hastings, my mate Harry went there once, minding his own buisness and some bugger had his eye out.  :o
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

LOL at you and your mate Harry, Kev  :D

Maybe I should have a firkle?

4 of my Arran Pilot have buds and the other is still thinking about flowering.

I also have a Pink Fir Apple or Charlotte volunteer which got missed in the upheaval of reconstructing the garden so it'll be interesting to see what Mother Nature has given me as a bonus  :)

manicscousers

There we are, not a big haul but, not watered much either  ;D

cornykev

Dig up date is this weekend folks, although some have been a bit impatient, my excuse was my plant on the end had wind damage so I dug it up, well that was my excuse and I'm sticking to it.    :-X     ;D

Lifted one root of Lady C on Wednesday and a second on Thursday; in each case plenty for a meal for the two of us. And now it's starting to rain, which should do the rest of them a power of good.

Sorry - no photos. I must remember to pay Dan again.

Hugely busy weekend (I'm on a coffee break) while it is dry here but my other half is away from tomorrow so they can stay where they are. I emptied a small pot midweek though and there was enough for a meal for the two of us which is good considering I've not been able to give them much attention.
