Just had a look at my Rocket potatoes in the cold greenhouse and they have come on really well.
Bought some fleece to cover them, just in case.

looking good, chris, wonder when you'll be able to harvest ? ;D
Not sure, i would hope end of May start of June, but first time growing potatoes so need advice ;)
ours in the poly border are like yours..we'll have a maul around in the soil around end of april maybe steal a few very early ones ;D
That would be really good!
I have updated my website today if you wanted a look. More pics there ;)

I wish we were that organised, I just seem to make lists, try to keep to them and find something else to do ;D
Well this is my first proper year of actually knowning how to grow and prepare the soil well, so I really hope to get a good crop. Its funny looking back on my website to last year and seeing how badly I grew the tomato plants ;)
I'm always pretty orginised with things, suppose its just a habit :) I love sharing my images and website with people who enjoy veggie growing.
Just gald a lot of people here have had a look. ;)
All looking very shipshape, Chris. I checked my potatoes in pots [Swift] in the greenhouse & no sign of anything yet. :-[
looking good! love your photos :)
My spids in a compost bag in the greenhouse are a couple of inches tall. :)
Three pots of spuds up and running. ;D ;D ;D

nice plot there. how large is it in each area?
Its around 9 feet by 7 feet. I think??
;D Hi ALL,I've just finished putting my last potatoes in with a bit of growth on them into my 4 pinters and 2 litre bottles,and I've just emptied out 80 small potatoes from my 5th pallet section on the left hand side of my plot,sown on the 8-2-2006 YES, 8-2-2006,a bit small and they have started to put out roots too but they are ok.
This makes my total of containers with potatoes in 450,that should keep us going until my family give me some more potatoes they were going to throw away,bought from ASDAs. If you look at my plot photos you will see 5 pallets sections on the left side,and 3 front middle ones,these are my A-B-C sections with my D section one behind my A section from left to right,my E-F sections have strawberries growing in them on their bottom section.My newly made extension sleeves are working great with the top leaves now coming through in my 4 pinters already, sown on the 30-12-2006. I can't wait to see what crop I will get. ;D
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P.

It was a test of germination back in January. Needs to be planted out but too cold. Very attached to it so wont get rid of it ;)
My Tigerellas were sown 5/2 so you've got a couple of weeks on me. I'm even thinking of take these four with me to lunnun. I don't part with them easily !
;D
