They made a nice potato salad with some home grown spring onions and chives!

    Man, potatoes have been a conundrum for me. I once randomly stuck some sweet potato ends in the ground, and ended up having a massive harvest. Every time I’ve tried to repeat that success, nada.

      It’s a funny old game like that. Plants do as they please, regardless of our best intentions!

      To be honest I’m surprised I got these. Foxes and/or cats have been using the potato sacks as beds and crushed the lot!

      Like that is it? lol

      Last year I ended up with 10kg of beefsteak tomatoes! Still using the sauces I made now :)

        The worst part is that the unwanted, unplanted cherry tomato plant is outperforming the beefsteaks that I actually planted. Are we SURE we’ve actually domesticated these things?

        Beefsteaks are awesome; I’ve finally figured out the deliciousness of a simple tomato sandwich, just tomato, good bread, mayo and salt and pepper. Beautiful.

          Mmmm, tomato and mayo, that’s my kind of sandwich!

          I was actually hoping for some of last years yellow cherries to pop up, but no such luck.

      Southern UK here. It’s been a strange summer this year, so far. Things seem to be growing either fast or slow compared to last year.
