i found my first leaf this week on my early's that i put in my poly tunnel, bit of an experiment. heaped up over them now, looking good for an early crop as the winter still seems to be dragging on.

I'm glad I have 3 tubs of spuds in the greenhouse - they're making good progress, earthed up twice.

The last of the outside spuds didn't get planted til yesterday, it's a weird spring  ::)

After planting mine last weekend at a depth of around 8", I don't think I will see any shoots for a good few weeks. :unsure:

Won't be long till I'm eating my first new spuds of the year. These were planted in a big tub in the greenhouse on 14th Feb.
