Finally got a chance to dig up the 2 beds of potatoes that we stupidly failed to dig up last year this weekend gone. First 3 plants I dug up were all turned totally to mush! I almost cried. They were the HUGE potatoes, too. We had about 3 plants worth in the autumn before the ground froze.
Fortunately the second bed was a lot less traumatic. Got a half-trug fll of a mixture of varieties, although a fair bit of slug damage.
Had a pan of mashed potato this evening, nothing wrong with the taste, at least! (Plus some of last year's sweet potatoes, which are still hanging around in the kitchen - very good keepers, it seems)
