Tattie Tyre update final.

What can I say, they were disappointing at best, my expectations were for a good sized crop of Kipfler potatoes or better only to harvest a crop of small undeveloped tubers.

In comparison Neville (my mums hubby and avid veggie grower) had some Kipfler tubers planted in the ground and his results were more along the lines of what I expected.

That's the second time I've tried tattie tyres with poor results so from here on I'll just use them for making compost.

Tatties from Tassie, at last.

My seed tatties finally arrived from Tassie. I ordered them from Tasmanian Gourmet Potatoes
Sounds posh Huh. I waited a little longer than I'd have liked, but in their defense they responded quickly to my e-mails and had a pretty good reason for taking the time it did. Having said that I like the look of their tatties and can't wait to get them in the ground(er. these ones are being planted out in a dedicated bed the ones in the post below are just a fun experiment.
The second photo is of 'Pink Eyes', the other variety are 'King Edwards', and they will have to be cut up into halves and the biggest maybe quarters.
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow.
