Title: Hello I'm back - anyone eating spuds yet?
Post by: antipodes on May 29, 2009, 13:38:37
Hi y'all, sorry I was missing for a fair while there. The lot is looking good this year, lots of onions and spuds to make it lower maintenance for me, until I get better organised.
I planted my early spuds on March 2, they have foliage that is starting to go a bit yellowish, tired looking - do you think I might be able to start harvesting?
I have new pics on my blog if anyone wants to see the progress I have made!
