Spring Greens!
Can someone tell me, what is the name of the plant of Spring greens? Is it just cabbage but cut up, every year I think I must ask so that I can plant some seeds and save money as I love the stuff.
Thanks SB

Re: Seed Potatos
Oh many thanks for the answers they are great, I notice "john" that you said that you dig up your later crop of 2nd's when you need them, does this mean that they would then turn into a sort of main crop? How long can you leave them in the ground before they taste a bit nasty? I have plant...

Seed Potatos
This is a really stupid question, but if I dont ask I will never know
If you plant a large seed potato do you get larger spuds at the end of the growing season, or does the original size of the seed potato make no difference at all?

Re: peas
I leave mine 2-3 even 3-4weeks, but then it depends on how many you have planted in the 1st place and how reg you pick them. There is only two of us, and we eat like pigs so I plant loads, because only half of what I pick even reach the table.

Yacon Tubers - Wanted
Bit of a long shot but does any one out there have any Yacon Tubers, you can buy them from the real seed company but according their web site, their crop failed last year. Boo Hoo.
Fingers crossed for a PM
