With today being the royal wedding day I decided to harvest some Swift potatoes that had been growing in the greenhouse during the winter. The crop is not huge but they have been harvested a bit too soon and there were plenty more tubers forming which would have been great in a few weeks time.
Anyway here is the video

Iain when did you plant them they look good
ReplyDeleteI have some international Kidney in my pollytunnel with loads of top foliage when should I harvest them ?>
Paul I planted them last year in November but the frost nipped them the first time so I put s piece of bubble wrap over the top of the polypot and hey presto they survived. I did not water during periods of freezing weather as the water would have set solid in the bag and damaged everything in the bag.
ReplyDeleteYou should have a furtle about in the bags and see if you can feel any tubers Paul.
