  • Whoa!!!

    Ok, here's the deal.
    Up at the lottie, spuds looking good so decide to have a little furtle to see what, if anything, is going on down there.
    Pentaland Javelins have not, as yet, come into flower - unlike my King Teds and Pink Firs.
    Furtle very gently under the first plant (by no means the biggest in the bed) and find these just below the surface of the last lot of mulch I put on there!

    They are HOO-O-O-GE! After picking myself up and doing a small victory dance, I thought I'd better check further plants-'cos let's face it if they are all that size I want 'em out of the ground before the slugs get to them!
    Alas, further furtling on several different plants in various parts of the bed just turned up the expected small egg to marble sized spuds.
    What do you suppose has caused this one plant to go bananas?

        I've only watered the potato bed a couple of times even though it's been so dry - I just haven't been able to spare the water. What I find odd too is that not only in the plant in the corner of the bed - a position in which things don't usually do so well in my experience - but it's a slightly sloping bed and .it's at the top end so any water would quickly drain away. Bizarre!

          I too had a furtle the other day and discovered large tatties on the Armandine. They have not reached their 90 days for another 10. Quite suprised!

          Would post a photo but we ate them!!!!!!!!!!!

                We dug up one of our plants (rocket) and got enough for dinner and the OH planted it again cos he spotted some teeny ones on it........not sure if it'll survive but there are more.

                  My pink firs are flowering now. I have never grown them before but it seems very early for a mid March sowing?
