No idea how to tell when the potatoes are ready for harvesting, so dug up one plant to check. Will leave the rest for now. Lovely colour though.

* Update * have received advice, can leave them in the ground until the leaves die off.

First lot of #NewPotatoes for 2023
820 grams in total.

Would have like a few more (as always) but they're all a reasonable size which is more important. I hate when they're the size of marbles.

Beautiful to clean, the skins rubbed off without any effort at all.

Harvested this year's first batch of Jersey Bennes. #garden #potatoes #NewPotatoes
It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so we dug up some of the new potatoes. Don't they look incredible? #newpotatoes #newspuds #appleoftheearth #southheadnz #homegrown
