Ok, this wasn’t super scientific as I should have grown them at the same time, next to each other and treated them the same but it will have to do.
I dug out my Pink Fir Salad spuds on Saturday and it was a joyous experience. I am always a little anxious when harvesting spuds because you can’t see them so I don’t know if they are ready or not but you have to hold your breath and risk it. This I did and look at them,
Ok there is a bit of shadow of me, an odd self portrait if you will, but if you ignore that I think you will agree that it went quite well.
I will now no longer use the bags and will grow them in the ground.
I hate thinning. I don’t like to throw away good seedlings and so I try not to. Today I thinned some of my beetroot but I didn’t throw the thinnings away, oh no, I replanted them all and watered them a lot. If they take then brilliant, if they don’t then I’ve lost nothing. It worked with my carrots.
