[QUOTE="KMA, post: 4033758, member: 32"] Kestrel, 5 plants yielded 1.1kg, very nice looking, big, clean tatties except for a bit of scab on a couple of the biggest. Have re-used the tubs to try some cut and come again lettuce, beds are full and my urge to plant something got the better of me :oops: Seems to be the same story with all the planters - all the tubers are at or above the level of the seed tuber. Next year I'll try putting the seed right near the bottom of the tub and earth them up as they emerge which should also protect them from any late frosts. Biggest upside is I've got some great compost/manure mix for next year........................ and a hell of a lot of earthworms :wideyed: :LOL: (y) Getting more courgettes than we need so looking to pickle some. Think it's homegrown courgette, potato and leek soup tonight. [/QUOTE]
