... new new spuds ...

It was always going to be too early to harvest them ... and it's been so dry they were never going to be ready ... but it is the Solstice today and we were eager to see what was going on below stairs. So here's the result ... 7 spuds from 1 Pentland Javelin ... out of the ground, washed in new spud gloves (thanks K) and into the pot, boiled, buttered and eaten, all in 30 minutes or so. Fantastic. Thanks to all who came today and took part.

We also managed to plant some toms Liz picked up at the Ella Street festival, and some gourds.
