Maris Piper Potato
15th August, dug the two rows of Maris Piper potatoes I had grown in the garden and was suitably impressed with the production, both in size and quantity.
So managed to harvest 15.5kgs per row, which equated to 31kgs all told.
Herewith pictures of harvest showing crop from 1st plant and then the row followed by
the 2nd row.

Vegetables
Dug some carrots today and was very pleased with the results I`m having this year.
The pic shows three different types of those I grow, which are Yellowstone: Purple Haze: and the usual Autumn King. I was also surprised at the very lush and tall top growth this year and wondered if the produce were as good as the tops. Also have`nt managed to get the fish pond balanced quite right yet, so drained some more water off and refilled with fresh, and see how that goes.
Here are the results of the carrots.
