    I had a wee sneaky look today and off just one plant I took 23 potatoes, small ones but not teeny. I am so happy ! LOL bigger potato patch next year I think... mine are planted in old tyres made into planters !

    I'm almost too scared to go dig up some of my cara's but I could really do with some some for dinner tomorrow :rotfl:

    Forgot to come back to this the other day. I dug up one plant to see what was beneath the soil and managed to harvest enough good sized spuds to feed four of us! :j :j

    At last!!!!! :D

    I dug up another 4 caras, got 10lbs. That makes 13 1/2 lbs off 6 plants so far.
  • Hello, great thread!

    We have just dug up the remainder of our crop of potatoes, they were the free ones from DTBrown (10 seed spuds)
    our total crop was 14lbs, we are thrilled!!!!!!:T
    this is a picture of my proud hubby with the remainder of our crop.

    I've not been weighing mine so I can't join in with this :-( but we planted some roosters (which were ones left in a bag from the supermarket going a bit soft) and the yield we've been having is brilliant, I dug up a plant today and there was more than plenty for two meals for four of us, plus their texture and taste has been great. I'll have to remember to get the scales out next time.
