Fridays harvest

I decided to Harvest  some potatoes today, I may be  slightly early, but it has released some much needed space for other crops.
The variety is called Kestral, it does well on the plot and seems to be totally free of any slug damage.
From a 2kg bag of seed potatoes I got a return of 19kg.


Some of them were a good size.


Most plants gave 6-12 spuds.


Cabbage plants, a spring variety, doing well under netting


The sweetcorn is growing fast


And the Morello cherries are ripening, its only a small tree so only a handful of fruit.

  1. I have been watching the allotment's progress on Sharon's blog and am amazed how quickly it has become an established 'grown up' allotment. Your potato crop looks excellent and there are obviously many other delights to come.
