I'd like to know that too.
I get quite a lot of potatoes generally, but even my maincroppers tend to be a bit on the small side.

Where about are you in the country paulsol - you can put your location in your profile so we know where you are. :)

Maybe you guys have the best soil for them?

Ditto Beetroot queen, but not that big!

I'd love to know what went into them, and under them.

DBG hints at an (unfair!) advantage they may've had, but I'm guessing that there's more to it than soil type...
