Default Maincrop spuds....

.....are not very good for us on the allotment.
They have been regularly watered and manure was dug in prior to sowing.
Four types, Cara, Maris Piper, King Edward and Golden Wonder.
All have the haulms flopping over, some are black. To me that means they
are ready to harvest.
In the garden at home they are still thriving with rich haulms. Sowed at
the same time, well, same day.

We have eaten all of the earlies, and it was a very large sowing.
