Very late spuds
« on: March 18, 2009, 03:26 »
At the weekend I emptied the last of last years potato tubs. A bit late I know. They were Ulstre Sceptre the crop was still OK with some pretty big spuds, just one had started to rot. We had some for Sunday tea and they tasted delicious  :D

Well done!  Your store must be spot on to keep spuds so long.

When I first rotavated the plot a few weeks ago, I dug up about 20 or so that were still fine. I think they were the charlottes. They were going to be for dinner but I left them at the plot and forgot all about them :(

They were still in the compost in the original growing container outside in the elements, I had just never got round to emptying it.
