My first potato crop of 2011

Great crop Nash! Out of interest when where they planted, how many plants for that crop and what variety?
Sorry for all the Q's.... only in our second year of plot.. and think i could have planted my news much earlier!!

My large polycarbonate cold frame helped, this was from 3 plants but I did not pull them up I just rooted around for them. The variety is Lady Chyrstl planted mid february.

Very good NASH, makes me want to go out and have a look under my Rockets that were planted on the 9th February, but they are outside so I`ll hold off for a month.

Jealous as hell though!

Gosh that was early. How have you managed to keep them frost free?

Well they were earthed up until a month ago, but we have not had a frost here since the last week of March.

On our site there are frost tender plants outside in abundance including runner beans and sweetcorn a foot tall. My runner beans sown on 31st March are still in pots but need to go out when it dries up as they are four feet tall.

I have just had my roast dinner and I can hardly move now, the flavour on the new boiled were outstanding and I have enough left over for a sandwich tonight and fry the rest tomorrow.
Potato heaven for the next couple of months 

well done for getting such an early crop
