Solanum tuberosum 'Charlotte'

Couldn’t resist! #firstpickings #potatoes #potatoesinapot #gyo

Charlotte aims to please 😁😁😁

I had to empty one of my bags of #potatoes as the cows leant over the fence and ate the foliage! The other bags still have some leaves so hopefully they will grown on a bit more 😂 🐮🌿 🥔

🙄 I always have that trouble! Oh! Hold on...that’s black fly I’m thinking of! 😂😂 they look perfick though! That’s dinner sorted!

😂😂😂 @rachelbrooks yep potato salad with home grown chives... and something dug out the bottom of the deep freeze #deepfreezesuprise! 😉

Enjoy Carole 🍴

They look fabulous, when do you know potatoes are ready for harvest?

Haha my friends son used to say are we having ‘do’ for dinner because she would say we’re making do from the freezer tonight! 🙈 But tater salad is good with anything! 😋

😂😂 brilliant @rachelbrooks ours was when asked “what’s for supper?” “Some old muck from the bottom of the fridge!” Basically random vegetables chopped, cooked and served with pasta?! No name required!

Thank you @jendren 😊 usually I wait for the leaves to wilt and just dig as needed, they can stay in the ground long after the leaves have died and as long as the worms leave them alone they store better in the ground.. @sadieberg 😊🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

🤣🤣 any excuse to pull some early 😉🤪😋😋

Ok @juliesgarden you got me there 😂😂

Oh. Charlotte doesn't want cows nibbling her.

😋 enjoy 👍

Excited 😊 first time I've grown #potatoes 🥔 the leaves wilted so couldn't resist a peak! I'll be good and leave the rest.. but potato salad for supper tonight 😊#gyo
