Wow, thats some spud!
The biggest Sarpo Mira I've had so far this year is just over the pound mark and I thought they are big, so that one must be huge.

Wow - well done!  Think of the very long chips you can make!

If you cut it in half and hold it to your ear can you hear the ocean?

That looks more like a sweet potato, huge!  I dug up some large Kestrels this afternoon all 1-2 lbs at a guess, nowhere near as large as that!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

1 pound 7 oz, also Sarpo Mira - your record is safe Chris.   :icon_cheers:

But this is by a large margin the biggest ever spud grown here.  Well chuffed.  Obviously the year for smaller tomatoes and bigger potatoes  :tongue3:
