Potatoes
Anyone growing them at the minute? Ours have taken a battering in the downpours but they are alright. Can't wait to harvest them after they flower, nothing tastes better than home grown, me Toms are doing well too.

I planted some but not sure if they’ll do much,loads of greenery but I don’t think I had enough compost,and couldn’t get any more due to hubby being ill,but here’s hoping.????

1st earlys "charlotte" now in full flower and I am hoping for some nice potatoes after the wind battered them a few weeks ago. Planted main crop" pentland crown" last week and leaf heads just coming through the soil. Never grown these potatoes before so I hope for a good harvest.

Your Pentlands should give you a good crop, good all rounders they are.
