They look lovely betula, I did the same and some were really odd shapes. Are they from one plant?

They were from two plants.Had some tonight.Lovely.
Love my Radley bags ceres. ;D
mine were very very knobbly as well but with a bit of a scrub they were very very nice :D
Just one question>This year I have not got one knobble.....is it serious ? ;D
It's not compulsory... even in it's offspring like Anya you get the odd deformity.. ::)

Ha ha!! that is exactly what I thought too LOL!
Ha Ha Ha LOL ;D
Every girl should have a Radley Bag.Don't leave home without one ;D
And it's gotta be pink!
To match the spuds!
now that's taking accessorising to another level ;) ;D
I was cussing the knobbles on mine, they are such weird shapes they are impossible to clean and the slugs have had a feast!
I have limited space in the garden, so decided to put my PFA in a big tub this year. I had a little firkle on sunday and there they were, pink, perfect and lovely. Lots more to come too! I was worried that they would all be slugged, but so far so good.
I empted two of my pound shop pop up bins yesterday, each had about 3 PFA seeds used. I planted them in a bit of compost then topped up using shredded paper and grass cutting mixed together.

I think i emptied them to early as the largest was about 3" and lots were about 1", but they do look yum ;D
I'll leave the other plants a bit longer.

great result! I remember from a previous post about those pop up bins from the pound shops and will definitely try this next year. Thanks for the reminder!
Mine are in the ground and I've topped them up with soil and grass cuttings I just hope they are as good as those. Might go and have a firkle this weekend.....
They look good..............they do not look like they have many nobbles on either. ???I have grown them for about the last three years and this is the first time I have them with a smooth surface.Nothing to put in the funny pics thread this year. :)
I have grown all my spuds in raised beds this year.Some of you may remember my plot gets very waterlogged and I did lose a huge bed of potatoes one year as they were just sitting in water.It was heartbreaking after all that digging.
I think mine were too small to have developed the nobbley bits, some of the bigger ones have them, but not many.

Hmmm not sure as I have a mixture from the very large to smallish :)
Just ate my first PFA today, they were lovely though a bit larger than I would have liked and very very nobbly, some looked like 2 joined together others like alien life forms. Found best way to clean them was to use a washing up brush. Went really well with my suasage casserole :)

This is the first year that I haven't done the PFA's and mine were never near as smooth as theses ones.
Even the advert at the bottom has a bloody handbag on it.
;D ;D ;D
