Doing good down here, like Leeky they seem to grow straight though earth mounds within hours at the moment, must be this warm weather..... hope there's plenty going on underneath.

Mine are bursting up! Haven't bothered earthing the thickening potato shrubbery up yet as there doesn't seem much danger of frost in these parts...

done mine once and they were threw by the next morning! I'll do it once more and then leave them probably, they were planted quite deep to start with.

Ive earthed up the earlies once, but theyve grown so fast and so big ive no earth left!

even the maincrops are doing well. Probably earth them up today after ive put the french beans in (and hopefully taken delivery of my greenhouse)

don't get caught out and end up with green spuds!
