Was going to plant mine this weekend but the snow put an end to that idea. Hopefully in the next two weeks if the the ground dries up I will get them in the ground

Still not got mine in, hopefully in the next week or two depending if the soil dries out a bit.
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.

Not for any of us, as you are not advertising where you are, so basically, we have no clue what you are talking about. :lol:

Not me. Too early with this weather.

Having said that, I am growing some jersey royals in a bag in my kitchen. They should be ready to crop in a couple of weeks.  :D


Where did you get your jersey royal seed potatoes?  I've always wanted to grow them!

You can get them in most garden centres and they are branded as International Kidney. Some say they don't taste quite the same as Jersey has particular growing conditions that can't be replicated anywhere else.

So much to do, but so little time.

I'm one of the most southerly ones and supposedly on the 'Garden Isle' but it's too wet so will wait.  Won't hurt them atleast they won't drown like they did last year,.
