Well looks like potato's in pots need watered a lot more that i thought!

The plant was looking quite droopy so i though it about time i harvested my first lot of Rocket potatoes.

These look great!!!

They do indeed, Chris, think mine will be a few more weeks yet. Were they flowering?

Congrats!

They're pretty cute... I like making a soup with little marble-sized potatoes floating around in it...

They take hours to wash though.

Looks like you've done a STIRLING job Chris, if they weren't flowering then I'll check mine. ;D ;D ;D
