The Last Of The Rogue Potatoes.

Freshly dug.
Straight from their colander bath.
The 'Rogue' potatoes I found growing in the veg plot and I replanted them in the polytunnel if you remember?

Their foliage was turning yellow and starting to die back.  So myself and number one son decided to dig them up today on Friday the 13th of May and find the buried hidden treasure.  There wasn't a lot but still.

I see The Libertines are touring this Summer.  Wish they where touring Hibernia.  Killarney or Cork or even West Cork.  

If Pete Doherty had an allotment he would probably change his lyrics to my blog title hey?

    1. Is that where the word "blighter" comes from? Britain is also sometimes known as "Blighty".

  6. Good point YP. Although Scotland is pretty blight free. My 'rogue' potatoes are Orla which originate from Scotland and are pretty blight resistant.
