Failure!!

Out of a big tub-trug these are all the potatoes I got. Feeling very disappointed.

What went wrong?

Re: Failure!!

Not sure why you had such a small crop. Maybe too many seed spuds in the trug. Not enough space to develop may be.

That is about the same number of spuds I got from one plant in my garden

Re: Failure!!

I didn't use seed potatoes.

I just used old potatoes in my veg rack that were sprouting.

Re: Failure!!

Ah yes I have done the same in the past with them and had good results. I guess results can vary.
May be somebody with more knowledge than me can shine some light on it.

Mmm, not much of a crop then, but it has been a funny year. Many of my crops have been very hit 'n miss but I do agree it's not much to show from six spuds! I bet they taste good though, just don't invite too many people round to try them...
