    first proper harvest, proper chuffed.


    Look at that lot, we have broad beans, purple sprouting, some Chinese cabbage and a little baby spinach oh and the potato!!!!
    Sunday roast sorted but I must ask. Some of my potatoes are red and some are brown yet they are from the same plant, is this normal?

      Sorry Sam I don't know about your spuds but just to say that your harvest looks fabulous - I bet Sunday dinner has never tasted so good.
      Well done you.

        I haven't got a clue about the spuds either, perhaps someone else with a little more potato knowledge will be along soon! Lovely crop

          Well done Sam. Dinner will taste extra special today!
          Could the brown spuds be the original seed potatoes?

            Looks great. You seem to have lots of veg already the only thing I have harvested so far is two pea pods!

              I think they might of been. They where almost hollow. Everything was delicious (nice bit of free range pork to go with it) and it makes all the effort very worth while.

                  Great job!
                  I harvested a couple of leaves of kale yesterday and got all exctited. If I had managed as much as you have I'd have been over the moon!

                  The different color spuds could, as others have said, be the original seeds, but you have several of them, so unless you dug from several plants??

                    Fabulous, how satisfying! Yes if the brown spuds were hollow I'd say they were the original seed potatoes - or else had been eaten by something, probably something with no legs.

                      How exciting. It is a great feeling going into the garden and getting your veg. Only getting spinach and lettuces at the moment.

                          Well done you!! That's a fantastic first harvest. I seem to remember mine was a tiny beetroot that was solemnly cut into six and duly devoured. Whereupon everyone attempted to feign as much excitement as I was clearly exhibiting

                            Thanks guys, I must admit that I'm now eying up all these poor vegetables and deciding which slab of critter they will go with the best.
