Spuds....Summat for nowt
Came home after along weekend away celebrating SWMBO birthday and thought
about a barbecue 'cos it was a sunny day and a nice end to the weekend.
Looking at the large plastic pot planter that had 2 old (Chitted in the
fridge by accident) Maris Piper spuds chucked in it around late March,
frequently earthed up, and watered, I dug in......
18" square pot, 2 "free" plants, and water, produced 2.2kg of the *most*
gorgeous tasting spuds for the barbecue.
Washed, halved and boiled with a dob of butter on the
top...Maaaaaaaaaaaarvelous!
Now looking forward to harvesting the remaining planted Golden Wonder ones
that are coming along nicely.
Anyone any tips for fertilising etc of spuds?
