Even if the weather is rubbish at the moment it's not all doom and gloom. Today I harvested the first new potatoes of the year. Lady Christl planted in a sack in the greenhouse ten weeks ago. The taste was fantastic so what would you rather do, pay £3 a kilo for Jersey Royals in the supermarket or grow your own.

They look lovely. :happy:

Is that the whole crop, how many seed potatoes did you put in the sack?

[allot2learn]

Beat you to it. We had Lady Christl's last Monday evening. 




OK, they were last years from the freezer, but still delish.

I bet they were lovely BUT they don't count as the first - they're probably the last

Soooo jealous!

We've got pentland javlin in the poly', they're about 6' high at the mo and as wondering when I could have a furtle?

Because what worries me is, I hope they're out in time for my tomatoes going in......  :blink:

Was it a heated greenhouse, Solway?

Alan, It's a south facing lean-to attached to the house so it gets a little heat from the house wall but that's all.

fantastic SC fantastic..

[sunshineband]

That's a good crop there SC


We have a couple of bags in the greenhouse and have to wait another two weeks by my calculation before exploring.....

.... but I'll wait as it'll be worth it.

How long are you giving yours Sunshine?

Mine are rocket and they've been in 10 weeks,I was going to wait another 2 weeks before having a bit of a root about?
