Some potatoes dug up yesterday, some are huge... Lots are tiny 😂

Potatoes covered at the back...

Potatoes growing well in the trenches before I'm about to cover them

Finally got the rest of the potatoes in 🤭

It's all looking amazing.

Thanks @charlotte it's a bit later then I would have liked but it's ok.

Before covering them over

It's about time these showed up! 😅

Main crop potatoes planted out today... 20/04/21

Finally got the main potatoes in ! 😅

Not many potatoes this year, still have to do my other allotment but I'm pretty sure they all rotted with the flooding. Still I bet they are nice 🙂

The potatoes don't look healthy at all, the grounds still wet since the flooding. I think hey are rotting away. 😐

☹☹☹

😢😢😢

I have lower areas @gardengirlla it's never happened before but the rain has been a bit to much. We are due thunder storms next week too, I love them but don't want ant more rain!

Hopefully @cyndi

😢😩

I said I wasn't going to plant in the ground this year but I have 👍

It's a love hate thing it's great finding them digging them up but so much hard work 😂 @gardengirlla at least I have a shed this year so I don't have to carry them home as soon as I dig them up.

My helper💚

You have taught her well @kimmy01 👍🏼

A few potatoes in the raised bed on #stpatricksday 😀 for the #veginonebed book I'm following along 😊

I've put the radish and little gem in my raised bed today. I'll put my potatoes 🥔 in bags only because I've not gone to the same dimensions of the raised bed that is in the book 📚

I'm going to give some a go in bags or buckets this yeah too, will be easier to harvest I think... You could do another salad for sections 1&2 maybe @Cazx

Curing some potatoes from the allotment away from puppy

2 potatoes turns into this 😀

From 2 potatoes to a bag of potatoes... Curing 😊

Wow 😲👌🏼

Most of the potato's weeded and earthed up 😅 that was a work out! Just as the sun came out

#kimmys-allotment

Another row of potato's in.. Need to get a move on! 🌞🌞🌞

#kimmys-allotment

Where is your allotment and how much do you pay, im looking to get one I can grow in

I badly need an allotment. Lol. I found one in meakstown but theirs a waiting list.

I'm in the north east of England and pay £67 a year @jamescalli its so worth it 😊 I didn't have to wait to long for this but in the last town I lived in for 4 years I was still on the waiting list and was no where near getting one of my own.

#kimmys-allotment

All this from 3 potato skins 😊 and I only cut 1 potato instead of nearly all of them... I must be getting the hang of it lol #potatopeelchallage

Nice harvest there @kimmy01 what variety are they

Yum

Main crop potatoes all from peelings 😁 #potatopeelchallage

Wow! You'll have enough to feed an army by September! 😁

That will be awesome 😍 @jeatacake I have a army of 4 😂😂

They'll not be going marching on an empty stomach that's for sure 😂😂😂

well done 😊

I have first earlies in too @jeatacake 😂 not as many though. They are ready now but waiting for the inspections to be over

And putting some new potatoes on next time I'm at the allotment 😂😂 omg I sound potato mad

You've got the space & they will store well, so go for it, but you may have to change your catchphrase to "Spuds = happy"! 😁

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @jeatacake you should see next doors plot 😮 full of them

Soooooo, you have a spud growing competition going on! 😁😁😁😁

From peelings.......😮wow!

Yup and I kept them on a plate for a couple of weeks I thought they had it for sure but there just full of life @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I wish I took I pic now
