Pulled up my main crops and got a nice 57ish Kgs of spuds. I wish I remembered what variety these were but I forgot to make a note of it.
For anyone interested I'm using the no dig method. This year I made two new 12×1.2 metre beds for growing using compost and manure. We have heavy clay soil here and last year my spuds did not do well in it. Making the new beds was a lot of work but I'm happy with the results, and at least next year I just need to top up the compost. I also grew earlies which were great but these needed a lot more earthing up so a few caught some green spots, will be more on top of it next year.
I also learned potatoes grow berries! Going to try grow some from seed next year so if anyone has tips on growing from seed send them my way

Well done! Incredible and obv will taste so much better
Nice, well done. One of the few reliables despite the weather.
Fantastic, fair play to you.
Around how many plants did you plant for this
Oh lovely! Enjoy the bounty!
Wowza! What variety are they? I had to harvest my roosters early because they had a touch of blight.
