Re: Chitting potatoes

Hi

Words of wisdom from my granddad.

Gardens are like women, the slower you take things the better the results.

The weather is all over the place, waiting a week or two is no great shakes.

That's true. I'm prepared to buy some Pink Fir Apples from the local shop if mine fail.

In my case you lose some you lose some more!

Yes, best way Barry.
We can only do our best but some of it is still in the lap of the Gods, with bugs, disease and bad weather.

Did them about 5 seasons ago, lovely taste, a bugger to peel because of their knobbly shape.
