            Gah, am depressed now - that's tonnes compared to my lot! *makes a note to grow them how you did next year though!*

            Nice crop!

            P.S. How do you steam the tatties, cause I boiled mine and the skins fell off

              Woa they look great!!

              I'm crossing fingers as I will empty my bucket tomorrow... and at the moment I felt nothing while flurtling. They 've been in since beginning of April... just hope the spuds are further down, out of reach.

                i've not had a big haul of potatoes out of tubs/buckets/bags this year either those dukes look great! Rabidbun, i've got a steamer that i use for my potatoes and all other veg, you can get three tier ones that sit on the hob, or a metal/bamboo dish that sits just above boiling water in a pot...both fairly cheap - mines were only about £7 each! Maybe another grape will have another method for steaming stuff..!

                  I have a Tefal steamer.
                  I steam the spuds for about 20 mins they are delish

                    If you don't have an electric steamer, you can buy a metal steamer insert to sit on top of an ordinary saucepan. Boiling water in the pan, tatties in the steamer bit (looks like a colander) with a lid on top and away you go.
