Well I managed to get my early potatoes planted at last, they had shoots
that were 6 to 8 inches long and a fair root system already established,
some I planted just the shoot/root system without a potato at the base,
should be interesting to see which do best, as I believe that in the US
they just plant the shoots as with sweet potatoes.
Before any one says anything I know it's almost August.

Just in time for Xmas


Yes. Just the job. I have my Xmas spuds in as well.
And with this rain they are going to be up, and about soon.
