I've posted a few times about our potatoes which have been growing in a rather odd way. They flowered twice and grew so large that i had to lash them to our greenhouse:
The gardener (he does all the heavy lifting) call today and couldn't believe that they had been in the tubs since early April. Like me he suspected that we would just have a few 'marbles' for our efforts. He's taken them up and we are rather impressed with the harvest:
We did everything the same as in the previous two years of growing with totally different results.
We'll try something different next year - a sort of quit while you're winning 
At about 750 feet on the western edge of The Pennines. Clay soil.
