These potatoes have been growing for months… but was the harvest actually worth the space? 🥔

I’m digging up four containers to see what’s really underneath and the result wasn’t quite what I expected.

But that empty space won’t stay empty for long! I’m reusing the compost and planting another crop of potatoes to see if I can get fresh spuds ready for Christmas. 🎄🥔

Plus, a quick update on the huge sun-choke experiment and a first look at how the sweetcorn is developing.
