i dug up my first patch of potatoes today. not sure how i went. about 1/4

there any good way to get more medium ones?!

No idea. If you don't want them, then I'll have them {:-).
Perhaps add much more organic matter. We seem to be at the same level,
but before we added organic matter, all we dug was minute to small stuff.


the next lot, i am doing in bags with holes & soil & manure inside. i can
see where i've got a bit wrong with these ones.

Make sure everything is well composted before you start. I've lost
spuddies when I added stuff to compost or planted them in new stuff.
