Return of the Christmas spuds...
« on: May 10, 2009, 16:17 »
Oh dear. Obviously didn't dig up all the Christmas potatoes, because I've just noticed haulms coming through. This is where the courgettes were going to go, so plans all awry now. Should I leave the spuds in? They'll be like second generation seed potatoes. The variety was Carlingford.

Any thoughts?
Growing salad leaves isn't rocket science.

I found a small handful of tiny spuds in the greenhouse border when I was sorting out in there ready for the toms --- must've been from two years ago as that was when I last did first earlies inside  ::)

I usually just pull them up and throw away but when my mum was helping she dug up a stray one and replanted it with this year's - it's doing fine.

Oooh Rachael, that's an idea, I've got a couple coming up, may replant them as my cabbages are going in that spot!
