First Potatoes

Time flies!
Not all the great plans for my allotment have not come to pass.

Some have however, and less than three months on we have lovely salad potatoes!

Emily and I dug up two plants - one Nicola and one of the Salad Blues.
We got a nice little crop.

After drying in the sun they promptly got boiled and served with butter. Lovely.

The blue ones taste just like ... well, fresh tasty salad potatoes!

I'll try and take a picture of the current state of the allotment.

I've not been able to dig a lot of it so weedkiller has had to be used to control the rampant grass!
