Mel dug up my unsuccessful pea plants in order to plant a second crop of potatoes. All we managed were three pods which Mel and I ate raw. They were absolutely delicious - next year we will try harder!

January 2006 - Frankie & Mel are starting up an allotment occasionally helped by their husbands, Nick & Steve. The plan is to grow lots of veg and some flowers. Nick and Steve want to wear smocks, smoke pipes and drink cider... Allotment 21 will end in January 2007 when we hope to move house. www.facebook.com/frankiesgardendiary

Did you buy some prepared new potatoes for Autumn planting? The idea of new pots with Christmas Dinner is appealing. I would be interested to hear your progress.
Hi Matron, A lot of the other plotholders are watching as well - I take it that this is an unusual thing to do???
I've done it too. Same variety, went in a couple of weeks ago but aren't through yet. Did it a couple of years ago and they started OK but got blight. It's a bit hit & miss but good if you can keep blight off.
The photos is gobsmacking
Oohh thank you! It's a Canon ixus 800IS which I bought in Hong Kong (much cheaper than UK). I love it because it is idiot proof and does video as well. Photoshop software helps a lot!
