Diggin the first batch of taters

Whilst this may look like the crappiest crop of potatoes you've ever seen, well, nope, it is. Hmmmmmmm...

We bought some 'grow pods' (big plastic sack things that you full with seed taters 'n dirt and then hope for the best) and filled our small balcony up for a good few months. You can see the other ones still growing behind the 'potato-sorter' black rubbish bag.

Lots of reasons why they didn't grow too well, partially from lack of love, but also from the stormy and sweaty London 'summer'.

This is the first of the 4 pods to be pulled. There may not be much, but they sure tasted like gold!

UPDATE: pulled the 3 other sacks up as well with even poorer results. Suffice it to say that we have eaten all the taters (5 meals worth). Pfffft. And you call yourself a farmer. Disgusting.
