@820fe993 But potatoes are nearly full proof to grow, and once you have potatoes in your garden, you'll never get rid of them. You always miss some when harvesting them, and they'll grow up the next year. All my vege garden beds have surprise potato plants that grow up each years, they're a bonus meal in my opinion. 

 @820fe993 I hope this helps. 

 @120acc36 thanks for the Potato growing guidance.  My abandoned seed potatoes now have 1cm of growth - so I’ll leave a bit longer & follow your recipe for success.   I’ve got Agria.  But I might return for something good for potato salad for summer.  😎

Local legend has it that you “don’t” plant your potatoes out until the Kowhai flower.
We had a super crop of “older” types last year, so much nicer than bought spuds (Rua, Ilam Hardy, Jersey Benny, etc).  This was despite such wet weather.

Good luck with your crops! 

 @13b9762d @820fe993 the neighbour’s kowhai tree started flowering two weeks ago, we’ve had a warm winter in Dunedin.
