This year I decided to change from Rocket which I have grown for the past two years and try Pentland Javelin and I have just cleared the last of the five potato planters I have kept on the patio since I brought them out of the greenhouse in May.
I am pleased with the results which are probably more due to the weather than anything I have done, although I did feed them with potato fertiliser which I have never done before. The potatoes are bigger and taste delicious boiled in fresh mint and drenched in butter.
Update : In the last potato planter there was 3.25lb of potatoes from 4 Pentland Javelin tubers.
I have grown PJ this year and I am really pleased with the results even though there was a lack of water at our allotments, from both the sky and the water butts! Well done you, yours look FAB.
ReplyDeleteThese were grown on my patio Ali, so I was able to water them daily. If they were on the allotment I doubt they would have been so good, even though we have mains water there I can only get there twice a week. Going tomorrow so should have some pics up.
