We really fancied some new potatoes today with our main meal but refused to pay the silly price for Jersey Royals no bigger than a pigeon's egg. I thought it was a bit early but nevertheless I tipped out one of the tubs in the greenhouse and lo and behold....344g of lovely Sharpe's Express. Given another week or two they are going to bulk up nicely and considering they didn't go in till a fortnight later than usual that yield is pretty good.

Very nice, what date did you plant them?

and there's me as pleased as punch to see mine just breaking through the soil.
you cant beat the first new potatoes of the season.

Snowdrops, they were planted 8th March

Well done to you, Solway Cropper, for a good early harvest 

I'll be furtling around under our Swift plants at the weekend, planted in the polytunnel at around the same time... fingers crossed

Well done. I planted some earlies in a greenhouse in late February (a week before the cold snap), they have flower buds now so will have a fumble in the soil in the next week or two.
