Default spuds

Had several meals from first early spuds after convincing myself that what turned out to be frost damage was some thing more nasty. Oh well if we had nothing to learn life would be less interesting. I,ve planted out too many shallots because I thought some I planted last year were not going to grow, however they are proving very tasty in stir fries. Cloud, Silver lining?
