All season I've been moaning about the 'volunteer' spuds that were growing in my mange tout.

Not today!

Found these when clearing up the rows.........

Volunteer spuds? Sorry i must have missed the posts - do explain.

They look tasty, nice and purple. Got a chip making machine?

They are plants from previous potatoes that have been plants....you know ...the ones you always seem to miss!!

What a bonus DD, all i found in between some peas was a decrepid rusty washing machine  :?

 :shock: You don't need a chip making machine for Pink Fir Apples!

[FCG]

What the heck did you plant Kezlou? A washer from a bolt?

Thanks for clearing that up Aggie (y'know, that's my mothers nickname)

[kezlou]

Nah just thought i'd try growing a washing machine, was hoping for a brand spanking new one instead i got an old one. Me thinks i left in the ground for too long.

Not used this for a while - been waiting for a worthy outing. This is such an occasion.



Please add own sound effects of desolate wind & bell tolling in the distance.

Dug up some volunteer 'Kestrel' yesterday.

Hope the ones I planted do as well........

Wish I could get hold of some Kestrels so I too can add to my key collection  

I have a bunch of volunteers as well; still too early to dig them up to find out what I have, but I know for a fact there won't be any keys or washing machines among the lot.    More likely I'll find rusted nails and broken crockery. You'd think I'd at least find a decent teacup in there.

they are a bonus DD, I,ve got them growing in a v.large tub.  Should be ready soon as flowers are just beginning to die.  Hope mine look as good and plentiful as yours.  Mrs Bouquet

I'll let you know what the 'real' ones look like in due course. Probably a slug filled let down!

Talking about volunteers, I've got chard coming up in my brassica bed, I don't like it so haven't planted any and have had the plot 3 summers now, and it's not come up before, weird!
