Chicken-n-Veg

Today we harvested our first two potato plants. They were Charlotte salad potatoes and we got a little over a kilogram of new potatoes (about two and a half lbs) from the two plants. They tasted absolutely wonderful, boiled with a little mint and eaten with salmon and salad. They were also approved of, as finger food, by our six and a half month old son. He definitely seemed to be purring as he crammed them in his mouth.

We actually planted an area of approximately 6m x 1.2m with potatoes, about (two thirds are Charlotte and the rest are Edzell Blue), so it looks like we will have a very good crop this year.
