And here are the infamous potatoes!

I had to go back to get you all a picture.....

When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

Wonder how many they've sold (not all of them obviously!)

Nice work if you can get it - for 6 quid you can get at least 50 seed potatoes even at retail prices, and it's not as if they are tricky to "germinate".  ::)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Hi All

For the past 3 years I put a single seed spud in a 6" wilko orange pot and grow it into a small plant about  or 8 inches. Then I transplant 3 into a patio bag....... works BRILLIANTLY :)
