Buried Treasure

It was on February 17th that I planted one first early seed potato 'Rocket' in a pot in a heated propagator in the greenhouse. It was potted on several times and put on an amazing growth spurt. In the last week it looks as if the leaves were starting to fade, and yesterday I decided to see if my experiment had worked.

So I tipped out the pot, to see what just 11 weeks of Spring growth had done for me.

I dug deeper into the potting compost and more buried treasure began to emerge. I was only expecting a few golf balls for a bit of an early treat.

But I had 7 lovely new potatoes for lunch.

So I cooked them, and ate them with nothing on ;-) (the potatoes - not me!) Delicious!
