Royal Potatoes Harvested 29/4/11

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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL9xYyJ-U7M

You can comment on them here http://growingpotatoes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/315-Royal-Potatoes-Harvested-29-4-11

I also have a few photos of them just waiting to be washed a devoured.

    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.

    You should have a furtle about in the bags and see if you can feel any tubers Paul.
