Default When can you start digging potatoes?

Some have flowers on and I don't know whether that is a sign!

My potatoes were developing brown spots on the leaves, followed by
shrivelling leaves, so I lifted the block and got what I thought was a
decent crop (7.5kg). On the other hand, there were early started first
earlies.


Lifted two of my earlies yesterday on the allotment. Bit disappointing :
total of about 20 pots at 1" diameter. Local farmer said that the dry spell
in May didn't help.

To start, sort through your children's closest to find any clothesthat they are no longer wearing. You can use these clothes to sell to theresale shop for extra money, or allow your children to swap the clothes fortheir own selections on their own. B [email protected] Lawns 0 22-04-2008 06:52 PM
