The Tatties Thread 2020

Hmmm, things to do with potatoes during a lockdown:

1) Photograph your potatoes

2) Count your potatoes ...

Hey there, wonder if anyone can advise me on potatoes! I planted some supermarket potatoes that had sprouted and have had healthy looking plants up until the past couple of days. the lower leaves are going yellow and they appear to be thinning out. Have I done something wrong that i can rectify and should I remove the damaged ones or leave them? They're in a planter, not the ground if that makes any difference. thanks in advance :-)

 

I have mine in a whiskey barrell cut in half from a local distillery

 

Whoever invented Maris Piper, give them a medal, I've just eaten the most amazing chips ever. Crisp on the outside and fluffy inside....... might go do some more.

 

Anybody growing cordon potatoes, or is everybody else growing bush spuds?

You been sideshooting your spuds?

 

Bush, as usual. What’s the thinking growing as cordons?

 

Afternoon all.
Can anyone recommend a potato to grow in time for the winter that is also suitable for roasting, please? I was thinking along the lines of Maris Peer (I've grown them before) but can't remember if they coped well with roasting.
