Nice crop- but do people actually water spuds? Even in years of low rainfall no-one does on our site-much to the committee's relief it is just something no-one has ever done. :-\

Chriscross that's one heck of a big builder's bucket as a normal sized one holds around 3 gallons or just over 13.5 litres!

I don,t know what you call um garden trugg yep there big  


Ok sat bucket on bathroom scales its just under 30 kgs !!

Put the chip pan on!

Well done to you all

I have bags full of the things and only half dug up

Hopefully they will keep over winter.

Are we going into a a thousand and one ways to cook a pud yet?

I think that the warm weather in Aoril really got the potatoes going.  With the dry weather I thought that there would not be many about to buy so planted extra but I now have loads. 

Tesco are selling spuds at between 40p and £2 a kilo, so for 35kg say about £20 worth of spuds. 

Now who says that allotments etc are not good value. 

my salad potatoes is turned in giant bakers and i was looking foreward to little melt in the mouth fuls

Yep certainly do water them!. Don't think they would grow that well.if I didn't

mine never got watered only what the heavens gave them and i think they did very good as i wasnt  expecting much of a crop

The Irish growers on our plot never water their spuds and always have brilliant crops.
