OK so WEEED gave me some seed spuds end of the summer so I planted them (they were the kind that have been in cold storage and therefore meant for winter growth)  From a bakers dozen of seed spuds I today dug up 2 lbs 6and a half oz of spuds, ranging from the miniscule to the small.  4 plants did not grow at all, a couple of seeds produce 1 or 2 spuds, the rest a small hand full.  Below is the total amount sitting in my scales bucket.  so, judge for yourselves if its worth the time and effort (not to mention cost if seed spuds are bought).  Personally I'd go for a no, but the seed were free (to me!), the ground empty til my raspberries arrive and you never know they might yet taste spectacular!

Just enought for Christmas dinner - bet you wish you'd waited now and you could have bragged on this forum about own grown spuds on Christmas day.

Got my spuds in a clamp for Christmas day    cant wait. Tried growing them in a bucket last year and they were a bit late (feb  :oops: ) but not this year. They look superb Crowndale.

Looks like quality rather than quantity to me. Very nice.

Couldn't keep them til Christmas, the frost had killed the foliage and it was very smelly, a better safe than sorry scenario really.  Will taste them with daughter and no 2 son when they return from their weekend breaks tomorrow.  Having a child free weekend!  bliss.
