Early Potatoes for Christmas.


Got my early pototates in last month - Cliff Kidney's and Jersey Bennes and they are now growing well.  Time to get the rows well weeded and once the plants are 15 cm high, mound up and mulch. If it's dry, water well once a week.  You should have some ready in time for Christmas dinner! 

I am now planting main crop potatoes. If you have the room this is one crop I think you can't have too many of.  Having a home grown supply of potatoes is a staple of the self-sufficient household.
