Lifted some of my Rocket potatoes that were growing in a bucket (6 seed potatoes planted back in March).

There were loads of them!  Seems planting them close does work well.

Worked out this lot cost maybe £1.50 to grow.









Looks like tatties for tea tomorrow.

Wow. When did you plant them please? I have got some Maris Bard (I think) in buckets which I put in for Grandson next door. Have also got some in raised bed.
First time I have tried growing spuds.

Nice crop, hope they taste as good as they look  :D

 ;D

Well done Chris, bet they are the best spuds you ever tasted!

;)

That's the way to go .Great crop ;)

Brilliant Chris, well done.

Maybe we should all pop round for tea tomorrow ;D ;D

Super! Isn't it wonderful when things grow as hoped?! Sort of makes up for some of the failures.
Nice looking greenhouse, also.

Now DON'T overcook them!!

...and dont forget a sprig of mint!

plus lashings of butter  ;D

Top notch Chris, bung em in the steamer with some mint and serve with a thingy of flora.  :P   Must dig some of mine up later.  ;D ;D ;D

Nice result Chris!
Bon Appetit ;D

I've never heard of potatoes with mint. Parsley yes but never mint.

Maybe its just a UK custom to boil new potatoes with a sprig of mint in the saucepan. It does seem to bring out their flavour and complement them well. I remember my grandmother kept a patch of mint just outside her kitchen door, so when my grandfather dug the new potatoes from the garden, she had mint close to hand. I think she grew spearmint. I usually grow apple mint, as it seems to be resistant to mint rust!
