It’s a warm and sunny afternoon, I decided to harvest all my 1st early potatoes to make way for some new vegetables. So with bucket and spade in hand I spent half an hour digging down into the bed. Lots of earth needed moving and it was easier to lift the potatoes using a large fork and going through the soil with my hands

I left the potatoes out on the lawn to dry a little before I put them into a sack for storage. I’m so happy with the results, I’ve grown just over 22lbs of new potatoes.

With the potatoes out of the ground, I had loads of free space for new vegetables. I planted Swede and a second crop of cauliflower.
