Grow Your Own / Highland burgundy potato
« Last post by Flynch on Yesterday at 20:43 »
Hi

I'm trying to locate somewhere to buy Highland burgundy red seed potatoes to grow next year but all my usual sources have stopped stocking it for some reason.

Anyone know anywhere I can buy it.

All of what Yorkie said RE: not running afoul of local/national authorities - do that, regardless of what else you do.

A simple way to fix drainage problems (if approved) is a French drain https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain&ved=2ahUKEwj16eKt7Y6KAxW4mYQIHbrbN1sQFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw2xP59p7uP2Obq8NJ3WGE7s Dig a shallow trench, maybe 12 inches deep, sloped to a collection/discharge point (such as a ditch or stormwater drain. . . again, if approved). the bottom of the trench should slope gently toward the collection point. place a base layer of coarse sand, or small gravel. Make some perforations in some PVC pipe, smaller holes than the sand/gravel you use. Lay the pipe in the trench on top of the sand/gravel, the discharge end of the pipe remains open to the ditch (etc.), the up slope end should be capped. Place more sand/gravel to cover the pipe (for a garden I would fill up to 6 inches deep). Place  some porous landscape fabric over the sand, fill the remainder with your garden soil.  Mark where buried drains are located so gardening does not dig them up. The work can be done by hand / allotmenteers, or done professionally.  They do work.

Good luck with whichever drainage method you choose!

I was in the right place at the right time in Tesco the other day and got a 2kg pork shoulder joint reduced to £7.50.

It came out of the freezer last night to defrost and was pressure cooked in the Ninja for an hour today.  It then got transferred to the oven to sit with the roast spuds and make crackling.  We had broccoli, carrots and spoon standing with it.  I have so many domestic goddess points banked with OH now  :lol:

Id planned on sawhedge and mash today but despite getting them out mid morning they're currently still frozen so it's sawhedge and mash sans sawhedges.
