Drum roll please......









one pound six ounces :clapping:
I only grew the rocket potatoes.
And as that's the first time I've ever grown potatoes, it's the best I've ever achieved too :laughing:

Also - I believe that makes me the winner so far :laughing: Did we have a prize?!

True... but I'm assuming they were similar sized crops?

Mine weighed......

Rocket - 1039g (2.29lb)

Emerald - 1146g (2.53lb)

And that's with forgetting to water, quite often... :blush: And which ones were the kids more interested in, the teeny tiny baby ones, you can't do anything with!!!

I pulled one up the other day to see and there were 5 very tiny spuds growing off the seed potato. Think they definitely need a bit longer.
