Title: Even more potatoes!!!!
Post by: Chris Graham on June 12, 2008, 22:06:24
Picked loads of new potatoes tonight after work.

It was great fun and the red ones look amazing.

Black buckets are the way to go for sure!!!

I just hope the plot tatties are as good as this lot.  Fingers crossed!!

Not very long once you get mint and a bit of butter on them.

A lot longer than some people claim - I can't tell the difference after a couple of weeks of storing them well (in my cellar - cool, dark & dry).
