Installing Indoor Cat Tree

I dug up my first potatoes yesterday - they made me grin from ear to ear and look fabulous.

I'm not very good at adding pics - but here is a link to them...

Wonderful!

I think mine will be ready to come up soon.The foliage is just starting to yellow - mine are Desirees which are red skinned

Hope they taste as good as they look

Wow - they look great! Don't think my potatoes will be ready for a couple of weeks yet! Can't wait!

Wow...yum....how are you going to cook them?

 

They look fab.

 

Mine have started to flower a bit, so will have to wait a bit.

They were delicious. We had them steamed with a little bit of mint, served with butter and they were yummy - no left overs for the girls though!! They were Charlotte's the second earlies.

I've got a raised bed full of tatties. It's the first time I've grown them.

 

How do I know if they are ready to dig up?

 

It doesnt seem that long since I planted them.

Once the flowers are over then they should ne ready to harvest. You may just be able to rootle around under them to unearth yummy spuds

I've picked some of our Charlotte salad potatoes this evening. They were lovely

 

First time I've grown them, I wasn't sure they were ready so I had a little root about under the soil and picked the largest ones

Mine have all got blight but I'll dig them up over the weekend and see what I can salvage
