This year we planted our biggest potato crop yet. We were able to do this because we now have in our possession our main field. We also took the decision to turn half our drive into a potato patch using a stockpile of potato bags we have used on and off for years. So, this time we have much more space for potato growing. We have planted a number of varieties. The first to be picked is pink fur apple potatoes, a salad variety. Most are still in the potato bags (the PFA were grown on the drive) but we have sampled them and they are great!
Once we have sorted the storage of the half tonne of apples we've gathered from local residents for goat fodder over winter, we shall get the whole of the potato crop harvested.
