Were back again with more potatoey goodness. The plants are now big enough to be sending them off to high school.

If they were humans they would definately be teenagers by now.

The Kestrel plants on the right should reach maturity after 90 days. We should have some tasty potatoes to eat by then.

An interesting fact to try and make these increasingly samey posts relevent… According to the Alliance for Potato Research & Education on any given day at least 1 billion people will eat at least one potato.

As a change of pace here is a Pumpkin plant we have growing.

Stay tuned.

These potatoes are now easily recogniseable for what they are.

Incidentally no-one asked what types of potatoes they are. I’ll tell you anyway. On the left we have Desiree and on the right we have Kestrel.

At this point we have to accept that one of the Kestrel seed potatoes failed.

You know you wanted to see them so here they are.

A few days after potatoes 3 and they are much bigger. 

The third original post was a picture from 5 days later when the shoots had grown from barely recognisable spots of green into obvious potato plants. Enjoy.

Coming soon. A few days later….

Following on from the previous post, we catch up with our tubers after 2 weeks growing when they looked like this.

It’s immediately obvious that there will need to be some  loads of weeding to carry out on this patch in the coming months.
