Title: Got my first new spuds!!!
Post by: antipodes on May 21, 2012, 14:14:08
About 16 babies, but a few were quite big, big enough to fit snugly in the palm of the hand! they were Belle de Fontenay earlies, planted last week of February.  We have had so much rain here, obviously they like it!
I have never had any so early, usually I would need to wait another 10 days. I dug up just two plants, so if there is no blight attacks, I should get a good crop this year!
