After our previous successes with our potato harvest, we planted some to have home-grown new potatoes at Christmas. I don't think we are going to have home-grown new potatoes at Christmas.
Fortunately, when Christmas was delivered earlier today by Tesco's (a so-called "small" turkey now taking up a surprising amount of space in the fridge), it included sufficient non-home-grown potatoes to cover us over the festive period.
Next year, we will try planting a little earlier...
We are getting a sensible progression of these.
We expect one more crop this year.
If only the brassicas were similarly productive! Well, they are; it's just that other things eat them first!
More potatoes! These are coming in at the right speed to eat them, so we don't (yet?) have a glut.

I don't think we are going to get a good harvest of sunflower seeds, however.

We've had a few home-grown strawberries so far, but this is the first potato harvest of the season. (A second crop is due later.)
My other half planted a few potatoes this year. We have produce!
Not quite enough for full self-sufficiency, I suspect...
