Our Christmas potatoes (from last year) have started coming through today, amongst the crop of a completely different veg that is supposed to be, and is, growing.  :nowink:

Emptied out the Lady Christl and Rocket bags today

Lady Christl had an excellent yield but Rocket did not, so will not grow them next year.
