At Last, Potatoes

After a long wait, it looks as though the potatoes are finally ready to begin harvesting. We planted them at the start of April, but they've been slow, on account of the miserable weather. However, today we lifted three of the Lady Christl, and behold, there was a reasonable crop. One of the three wasn't very impressive above ground, and similarly lacklustre below (three tubers, I think): the other two are more satisfactory. 4.5lb from the three: I think we averaged 2lb per plant last year, so that's not bad if you exclude the worst plant.

They were very, very, tasty.
