You've got to be weird to want new potatoes at Christmas when everyone else is tucking into roasties   ;)

Mine will be planted next week in the polytunnel. I've never had much luck with them outdoors but hopeful this year now I've a tunnel.

I'll be at a solstice bonfire as usual, but I too will be eating roast potatoes, or maybe a jacket or two. Chips at a push  now I've got my new "falafel maker"   :)
I love the idea of a second winter Jersey crop in my head, but I can only cope with so many dreams at one time.

Reindeer roasts? (Might result in a few cancellations from vegetarians though!  :unsure:  ;))
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

You can't grow Jersey spuds in a poly tunnel in the UK!  ;)
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
