I confess to one guilty secret the picture shown is minus four potatoes. I keep a small primus stove and saucepan in the plot shed and couldn't`t resist boiling them with a sprig of mint for a quick snack, handily I had a pat of butter and a salt sachet in my bag I sort of had a premonition before leaving home. (you don`t really believe that do you? ) If there is a more delicious way to eat a new potato 10 minutes after digging it up I am not aware of it.

Ten minutes? What took you so long?
ReplyDeleteI had the water boiling while I was digging you can`t get much quicker than that

Very True
DeleteI couldn't resist our new potatoes and pulled some up too soon, they tasted delicious but very tiny. I'm new to gardening so will be following your blog for some tips.
ReplyDeleteyour welcome thanks for your comment, David
ReplyDeleteWe thought Vales Emerald was really tasty when we grew them last year. For some reason we haven't planted them this year. I'll have to try that cooking on the plot trick.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason we didn't plant them was that we couldn't find any VE seed potatoes. GF is Martyn
DeleteI recommend it Sue
