have just bought a potato basket fork - should be delivered by mid week next week I reckon.  Can't wait to dig up half of my crop so I can get my beans in place!

How long have they been planted, and what variety are they BQ?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Estima and maris piper. (I think) I did put labels on little sticks in but someone didnt move the labels as they topped up, I planted them ....................... ( well that info is on the stick too)  ::)

Am going to resist having a furtle until the weekend!

Very nervous about finding nothing!

love kim x

Come rain or shine - spuds predicted or none - I'm going to go furtling this week-end and up "very carefully" I am going to yank one spud plant!!

They're "Rocket" as far as I can remember so something should be shooting up!  :)

I suspect that they're just not ready yet - not to worry, give them another couple of weeks and then have another look

Dont you mean another furtle, something rather satisfying about digging around in compost up to my elbows  :lol:

I've had two plants out so far. There's been a mixture of marbles and decent sized stuff but I'm going to keep taking them as and when required from now. I figure that with the amount of spud plants I've got in the ground I should be down right sick of them by the time I'm done anyway! Either that or they'll be robbed by slugs or disease.

I furtled a little around the rockets last week, but i think it's a little too early still. It's really tough to avoid the temptation to get digging in there again...
