The salad blue potatoes have lovely flowers - I'm guessing that the tubers are blue too
Hi Sue .Yes it looks as though the tubers will be dark blue flecked with white all the way through,but are not actually salad potatoes.More floury than waxy, so I'll need not to overcook them(or make blue chips instead!).
Looking excellent all round, I'm especially impressed with the Sweetcorn, I thought mine were well developed, yours are far ahead.
Hi that is one tidy allotment! Your potatoes look healthy and green, ours have succumbed to the dreaded potato blight despite spraying.
Hi Rooko.Yes,after reading some other blogs I'm a bit surprised how far forward some things are up here near the Lancashire/Cumbria border compared to traditionally warmer areas.I planted out the sweetcorn fairly early as the seedlings were trying to lift the glass off my makeshift cold frames at home.
Luckily they then survived the gale force winds, whereas the patty pan squashes planted with them were destroyed within a few hours.
Thanks Peggy.
Hopefully I'll start lifting the first spuds this week.I've mainly grown early varieties in an effort to avoid the blight.We'll see....
Lovely colourful photos!
Your allotment is so tidy - I must try to foillow your example next year ;-)
