devon flighter 421 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 looks to be about 5:1 to me ,cant be that bad surely ! when we planted our first spuds i was a bit dissapointed but some years are better than others and depends on what there fed on ! we do most of ours in the beds and just do a couple in bags started in the GH for a few early season and that varies year to year , just enjoy them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,050 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) This patches of strawberries is all green so far. Been chopping runners off but the main patch is more fruit I put some netting over the main ones as the old birds been helping them selves bit too much broccoli looking good lets hope it stays that way was worried i lost a lot of parsnips to slugs when they were small but they have come good. Only done two rows I grow way to many as a rule the old comfrey for me toms. Shame I left it there still running. Just hope it don't rain or fall over I was thinking of you today dido. I had some spuds that looked the part or though calendar wise they just hadn't been in long enough. I scrapped around one to have a nose and found a spud the size of an egg. Thought great and got the fork and dug up two plants and got one spud off each Edited June 11, 2017 by terryd 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
