Arry 18,603 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Well decided to lift the Second Early's ( Charlotte ) for two reasons. First I could see a touch of Blight and they are only six foot from the tomato's in the Green house and I don't want it getting in there. Secondly I need that bit of ground for some Leeks that are ready to go in. So with the 3lb I dug two days ago and touch over 14lb today I'm happy with that.

Aled 364 Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Hi Arry, like The one, i have planted Charlottes. They tasted good as well, need to catch a nice sea trout to eat with the next batch now! Edited June 16, 2023 by Aled 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They tasted good as well, need to catch a nice sea trout to eat with the next batch now! Was thinking they were Charlottes, they did well for me. I harvested early just one week after the flowers fell off . But I sure I had blight starting and too close to the Green House. Charlottes nice tasting spud don't think it's as good as Nicola I grew last year but they are fine. Thinking maybe I will try and get some "International Kidney" to try which are Jersey Royals next year. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
