first new potatoes
After all the doom and gloom about the weather I have something positive to report...my first pick of new potatoes this year.
These are Lady Christl, planted in a sack in the greenhouse ten weeks ago. There were also lots of pea-size spuds and I know I should have left them another couple of weeks but when it comes to new potatoes I'm like a kid in a toy shop and I just have to have them!
The taste was divine and with Jersey Royals at £3 a kilo in the shops don't let anyone tell you that growing your own isn't worth it.

You never let us down, Colin. My Lady Christl are not far off ready but I'm being very good and not furtling until mid-May at the earliest.

Amazing! My potatos are just 2 inch high. Greenhouse is high on my wish list.
