I scratched away at some dirt today by one of my Orlas that had finished flowering and came up with some nice sized new potatoes!  I can't believe how excited I am!

I'm just debating that now hehe

Dug up one of my plants this week-end (foremost earlies) and eat them. Great!

I'm now thinking of digging the remaining 9 plants. How long will they keep and how best to store? Probably not looking to store for long as I will be eating them all pretty soon! 

[DD.]

The best place to store them is in the ground.

Can I show off please? my first harvest. They tasted lovely 

[Growing4mykids]

Right sweatpea, that's it, one of mine is coming up in the next half hour  if no picture follows it's because i'm sulking in a corner somewhere!!!! 

[Sweetpea C]

LOL - i shall await the squealing noises when you dig up the treasure. Really nothing quite like it :-). Good luck

[Growing4mykids]

If you think you may have heard a squeal, it was'nt me, mine was more of a groan  so i'm now sulking in my newly started 'sulking corner' 

[homegrown]

Thats a good harvest.good size spuds.how many plants was that?

[Sweetpea C]

Chin up G4MK, they will grow soon :-).

That was nearly a kilo from 4 plants. I think they are arran pilot but I got the labels mixed up so they could be pentland javelin   

Just got to persuade my daughter that she does like to eat them now!
