Potato weigh in this way please!

And I was told I was sad for weighing my potatoes!!!

I've now dug up my Charlottes (18 plants spread over 40 square foot) and managed to get 48lb of good quality potatoes. Okay, they weren't all small salad potatoes, but so far they've all tasted great.

Skippy54 and Squiggle37, these spuds from DT Brown, that were free, was it some sort of special offer, or a freebie? and do you know if they are doing it next year? I love a freebie

Got the spuds from someone who posted the offer on this board cant find the original thread I think I just had to pay 95p postage, cant complain as i have had my money worth from them so far.
Cant say if offer will be back on next year.

Hi,KAZ
Don't worry if the offer is on and I see it first it WILL be posted,I just hope every one else keep their eyes open and post any freebies for the garden,they taste much better(just like a scromped apple)

Hi folks

I got back from a 3 week unexpected return to the uk at 12:30am this morning so you can imagine the state the garden was in :eek: -i even scuttled straight out to have a look , the neighbours were going to look after it for us but not sure how much watering they were able to do anyhow this morning i have been out there cuttin off dead stuff, dumping leaves etc that have gone to seed...but i have come up with quite a crop so far :T i did tell them they could take anything that was ready -but they didnt bother


so from 1 little charlotte potato i got just over 1 kilo this morning... still have another tub and 2 dustbins yet -so fingers crossed
the courgette has got a bit big but i will make him into a pasta sauce, and its a good job we like cucumber as we have 2 ready off each variety :rotfl:
right back of i go to sort some more out...

Welcome back, look like you are in for a good crop this year.

I'll add you to the spud weigh in!

Oh, I've just been rootling around in the soil and pulling out the spuds I need for the day.
So far I've had 4 meals worth from the Dt brown free ones. Does anyone else think they've got different sort of flavour?
The other ones I'm growing are Golden Wonders which I've never grown before but won't be ready for a while.
