Sieved some soil my mate was throwing out and topped up all my 4 spuds in their tubs with it.    ;)

Hope everyone's spuds survived the frost :-\

Or was it sack barrows out and dragged them into the living room to keep warm ;)

Eeeh, sorry, I'm too tired to think nearly. The four in the big tub - one is thinking about flowering I think. The one next to it has buds and the two behind them are um behind. Two in sacks and the two in pots are stocky, green and healthy looking like the in ground maincrop. I'm not expecting much from the pots and sacks after the heatwave though. I'll have a firkle tomorrow.
