I hope to beat my <i>massive</i> 11oz yield of last year, but only expect to do so if the 'lucky' seed potatoes that I chose to grow have a 'thrive on neglect' gene in the mix somewhere.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-77425194494715259012010-07-24T22:36:26.567+01:002010-07-24T22:36:26.567+01:00Very impressed with those potatoes!
