Notice the one with the black band around it? I think it's a piece of plastic embedded into the Solanum Tuberosum.
I have featured the stainless steel old Kenwood Chef mixer bowl a couple of times on here. I bought it for a Pound about 25 years ago from a carboot sale at the Countess of Chester carboot sale. They hold a Sunday carboot sale every Sunday and they have raise over a million Pounds for the hospital in all this time which is remarkable.
We've been eating new potatoes 🥔 since May and we still have lots to go at and Diesel our dog absolutely loves them. I have never known a dog love new potatoes so much.
Oh that is a relief! You hadn't blogged since Monday so I checked my wardrobe to make sure I still have a black tie.
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. I wrote a post and thought of couple of topics but I never published them. At least all the rain is swelling the potato tubers.
ReplyDeleteI have missed you too Dave. I hope you were able to remove the black plastic and still enjoy that spud.
ReplyDeleteThanks JayCee. I managed to get some work and been busy.
DeleteCold boiled potatoes are wonderful, in a Greek salad or just with cold meats, boiled eggs and a bit of olive oil. In our heatwave it's the perfect meal
ReplyDeletePs so much better when the potatoes and eggs are your own
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. We seem to be eating new potatoes every day at the moment. I agree they are much nicer than shop bought ones. They are fresh and their sugars haven't turned into starches.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to try some of Pirate's potatoes grown in a pot today
ReplyDeleteI hope you both enjoy them GZ. It's a great year for new potatoes.
ReplyDeleteTo have a productive farm with good vegetables are so good. Hard work but good results.
DeleteSo very true. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteF is jealous of your new spuds. She didn't grow any and those in the plots around ours have all succumbed to blight already. Interesting how you can shape a spud with a tummy band. xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteIt's well worth setting some seed potatoes in pots in a greenhouse or polytunnel in September Tigger and getting an harvest around Christmas time. I have done it a few times and it's wonderful to harvest them at that festive time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back! We have missed you.
