An unexpected harvest


I am very worried that we are running out of space. We still have six sprouts to plant and the leeks need to get in the ground. We made the decision to clear another of the beds at the top which is full of self-setters (potatoes that is). These are some that were not dug up last year by the previous occupants and have sprouted under the ground. It was a surprise to find that, this early in the season that potatoes were forming.

Enough to enjoy with our mixed lettuce and radish salad (all home grown of course) but it is a shame that the raddish are bigger than the potatoes.

p.s. We can confirm the rumour that eating too many raddish gives you wind.
