Rocket Seed Potatoes

Saturday, 23 February 2013 | Mrs

I grew these First Earlies last year.
They grew really quickly and provided our family with copious amounts of very tasty new potatoes. I left a few plants in and was still diving nice larger potatoes in early july. Going to order some more for 2013.
