2nd crop of home grown spuds!
Do you recall this post about the red potatoes we grew in a tub. Well yesterday the second crop was ready to harvest. These were a smaller, white variety, and a different shape. I am planning on cooking some for dinner tonight so I hope they taste as good as they look.
This is two down and one tub left to go for this year! We may expand a bit next year all being well.

yum. my mom brought me some home grown 'taters' and I've selfishly only eaten 2 of them, scrubbed, skin and all, and "baked" in the microwave. I'd just bought 10 lbs from the store, which are nowhere near the quality of the homegrown ones. i will have to make something out of them so i can share the new ones with the hubby. yum yum!
They looks gorgeous! I love garden 'taters. Mmmmm.
great pics! That's a lot of scrubbing. Enjoy!
They look lovely! I haven't harvested my potatoes yet. Your post has made me realize that I should probably do that.
yum. I need to go dig mine out too.
I've got a bag of home grown potatoes Clare gave me, must use them soon.
Oooh, yummy! Lots of butter!
Very nice!
Coincidentally (or not, better check with Mother Nature), we harvested our last load of potatoes yesterday. It was a happy experiment, and like you, we'll try it again.
they look delicious - live would not be same without tea & potatoes!!
YUM … your home grown spuds look TASTY indeed!
Hugs and blessings,
they look wonderful...I love home grown potatoes!!
They look wonderful. They look like white rose potatoes. Yummy.
They look marvelous! Let us know how you prepared them and any good tater recipes you may have!
OMGEss! Thank you for telling me. Now I know I can do this myself. I LOVE taters! Just never thought of this. Thank you BUNCHES!
Those look really good!
Now they look delicious!!!
The before and after are just stunning - one of the few I've ever seen where the after looks better than the before!
Oh they look yummy! I could really use some nice new potatoes right now I seem to have had nothing but chips lately!
thats a lot of spuds for the small space you have.
I remember my mom making "creamed new potatoes and peas" -- and we were all just scarfing it down like dessert.
mmmmm they sure do look good, and I bet they taste gorgeous too.
They look great Chris. They even look fresh, certainly fresher than what I buy in the shops.
lil mouse the skins are so tender when they are new
debbie you can't beat them
sam very little scrubbing they cleaned so easily.
beckie & karmyn don't give the pests time to get at them!
beccy you do well from Clare
john oooh yes butter
CC I don't want shop bought after tasting these!
judy normally I'm not a big potato eater, although I do love jacket potatoes.
kitten it's easy to do but you don't get a very big yield
jan we still don't know the variety I will be better organised next year.
barbara wish I was close enough to share
Oh Great Job! They look perfect! Ours have just started growing, hope we get a crop like that too!
They looks delicious and potatatos from the own garden are the best!
Mmmmm yum! I could eat potatoes every single day of my life!!
