Seems I did not collect all the spuds up from last years sowing.

They seem to be growing well, will they be any good if left or should I pull them up and plant new?

We are still alive after having a meal from volunteers I found amongst polytunnel salad.

We used to get volunteers on the allotment and I was always tempted to leave them in, but because one usually grows totally different crops after the potatoes, I found that their huge foliage shaded out the stuff I was REALLY growing in that space. So, if you put up with that, I would certainly leave them in, Colin.

That's good to hear thank you both for your help, I will leave them in and plant a few new ones in spaces between them.

I am so glad I left them in as had 2 1/2 buckets loads of spuds not small ones but mostly big baker size.

Glad a followed you advice, thanks again.

I always miss some, despite going over the ground twice!

I lifted a few "extras" today, enough for a couple of dinners, some red ones, been a while since I grew any Roosters.
