The top foliage of the huge pot of potatoes has now died back so time to see what happened
Drum roll, excitment
We removed the tops and dug around
we dug around a little bit more
and again
Nothing
zilch
nada
Not a sign of even a tiny potato
Very disappointing
Oh well
We have lots of flowers on the courgettes
and one tiny one maturing
the cucumbers are still producing
the plum tomoatoes are good too
Can´t win them all!
take care
xcx

Really don´t know what went wrong, I chitted them and kept covering them as I have done before, but no special little newies for us this time! Our local supermarket, Mercadona have started selling new pots this year so will have to make do with them xcx
ReplyDeleteOh no, such a shame. Did you keep up with watering? Potatoes need lots of water and pots tend to dry out so much easier than the ground does so you have to be watering constantly. At least you've got other things to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo hope you had a wonderful birthday. We did water alot but as you say poots dry out so quickly, oh well couple of courgettes on their way now xcx
DeleteAh well, you still have courgettes, cucumbers and plum tomatoes!
