There have been a couple of posts asking about winter potatoes recently, so I thought I'd go out and have a furtle in my bin as the tops have wilted. And this is what I found.....



These came from two plants but because there are loads of pots in the way I couldn't get down to the bottom of the bin. So I would say go for it! We will have salmon with new potatoes, baby carrots and frozen peas.

We'll give the dog nose a miss though....don't eat meat!

Fabby spuds!!

I have mine in a spud bag in the green house. The leaves are still nice n green....how do you know when they're ready?

When the tops die back they will not grow any more.

They tasted fantastic!

mine have been a disaster, I overwatered them and then they got horrendous white fly.  Pulled them all out at the weekend and in 12 big bags I have about six spuds (and its not even Christmas anyway!!)

I was one of the people who posted about this too - I'll be lifting mine over the weekend, and I'll be quite happy if I get a couple of dinners out of it!  I'll know better for next year - it's all a learning process isn't it - that's what it's all about.

Cheers

I'm not holding my breathe but I'm going to go and dig mine up this morning and see what the damage is.  I really didn't put too much thought into how and where I planted them but have learnt a big lesson.  Will let you know how successful (not) I've been.
