I've managed to harvest something! I will have some results for 2012!

So I took the plunge and emptied the tub of potatoes that I'd been growing in the greenhouse, not a brilliant amount but at least there were a few decent sized spuds, which I have since had some for my tea.  The variety was Rocket  and I managed to get a grand sum of 778g of potatoes.  I'd forgotten to change the setting to lbs, but this is about 1.7lb of spuds.  I even took a picture....


I might have a go at digging up one of the plants at the plot tomorrow, they have flowers on them and it was 11 weeks ago that I planted them.

I've also made a little more progress on the bottle house, there is still the back panels to fill, I'll most likely have one finished off tomorrow, I might even put in some of my tomatoes tomorrow whilst I'm at the allotment as they are getting pretty big now and really need to be in their final positions, so here is what it is looking like at the moment.

  1. Super duper, I bet they tasted great! Always take photos, always, they really help boost you on your crappy days.
    We are thinking of a bottle greenhouse - you are very inspiring!

    1. Thanks Carrie, they were quite tasty... inspiring, LOL, I've been called a few things in my time but never inspiring.

  2. I don't mind a small harvest, just so long as they're tasty. I'm sure your spuds won't disappoint. The bottle house is looking great. I still haven't got my tomatoes in their final positions, they're still on the small side. I don't know how well they're going to do this year.

    1. My tomatoes are still pretty small Jo, I'm sure they should be a lot bigger but with so much in the greenhouse at home needing planting and it being too wet, I thought I'd take the plunge and go for it.
