sMASHing good fun

There is so much anticipation when digging up a potato crop - will there be HEAPS and HEAPS? Will they all be tiny or rotten and a complete disappointment?

Box 1, spuds in situ.

I had put three small seed potatoes in each styrofoam box and ended up getting about 4 1/2 kilos in total.
To be totally honest, I'm not sure if that's a good crop or not. Since we ended up with 3 1/2 kilos more that we started with I suppose we can count that as a success story.

I can't wait to dig up the big potato plot in the garden!! I think I'll leave them slightly longer (until the tops have completely died off) then hopefully they'll be bigger.

JESSIE, they've completely filled that potato bag you sent and then some! What good timing :o)
