When we moved into this quarter (Aug 07) I found 6kg of red (?) spuds hiding in the borders
and knowing how long the quarter had been empty - they would have been almost 18 months old.
They were perfect
Spuds are so easy to miss if you aren't rootling/fertling/turning over (oops sorry, Rugby term) etc properly
Enjoy

Provided they are firm eat them. You will find no matter how careful you are you will always miss some.Comment

They are firm. One has a tiny hole but I will cut out whatever is lurking...
Very excited, as all the rest were eaten before august!Comment

I found some last year in early spring which I'd been growing supposedly for Christmas & forgot about, they were lovely! It's just as though they've been kept in a cold store for a few months which is what a lot of people do with veg. through the winter so they should be fine.Into every life a little rain must fall.Comment

My lazy neighbour only dug up his last years potatoes last weekend. He said they were the tastiest thing he ever had, and he's still alive and well. Go for it!Comment

I've purposely left some in as an experiment.......dug some up last week they were fine.............might even keep a few that are hens egg size and use them as seed tatties for this year!

The only drawback is if you have a serious slug problem. Then you'll find them full of holes if you leave them. Generally speaking they keep well in the soil - a bit like putting things in a clamp.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I found a few tiny spuds in the earth emptied from the Spuds-for-Christmas bin (just got a few from that) and - having read Snadger's post - now I'm thinking of using them for planting.Originally posted by Snadger View PostI've purposely left some in as an experiment.......dug some up last week they were fine.............might even keep a few that are hens egg size and use them as seed tatties for this year!Last edited by maytreefrannie; 16-02-2009, 08:47 PM.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

By all means experiment frannie but for goodness sake don't use them as you ONLY source of spuds for this year.............buy a few seed tatties and compare the difference as an experiment!Originally posted by maytreefrannie View Post
