Dinner from the garden!

Really could not wait any longer to see if the potatoes had grown!

Now, I had 4 squares of potatoes, 3 were some French salad potatoes and 1 contained Icelandic red potatoes. Today I felt around in one of the French squares and found no French spuds but some Icelandic ones seemed to have encroached into that square. So, I grubbed out six potatoes for dinner. Not bad! The French ones may be deeper, I'll have to look into that.


I pulled up 4 carrots too, all Amsterdam Sprint. They were great, very sweet and certainly long enough.

Belated update

Here are pictures taken on July 12th, when I returned from holiday. It all looked fine and my daughter did a good job looking after it :-)















And today I pulled up some carrots to see how they are doing. The one on the left is a bit twisted and is Amsterdam 3 Sprint. The other two are Nantes 2. The carrot tops all look healthy enough so I will just let them grow a bit longer I think.

















The broccoli has done very well. I'm not sure about the flavour, it is a bit stronger than the usual calabrese. It does, however, give a steady crop over a longer time I think. We ate some tonight (see picture) and there are more small heads to come.
