Potatoes for Christmas...

... have already appeared through the compost. I sowed 6 charlotte and 6 red duke of york into potato sacks 2 weeks ago




This is how they looked today; I'm pretty impressed




A previous attempt at potatoes for Christmas was a disaster, although on that occasion I re-sowed my home grown tubers. This time I used proper seed potatoes from the garden centre.

I was supposed to top up the compost, but didn't get round to it... this is a must do for tomorrow evening and hopefully they'll be pushing through again in a couple of weeks.
