Hey everyone, sigh, this was far from a mega harvest, I planted sprouting potatoes in the middle of winter in a 'terratium' type unit I dug in the ground. I watered every 4th day odd and built them up as you should as they grow.

Month after month the green shoots grew I built them up and covered them, watering and nurturing as one should.

About two weeks ago I noticed the newly covered shoots did not come through the soil as they generally always did. So I got digging and sadly found only three really small half eaten spuds :( What happened? Moles I am told.

The next time I plant potatoes I will do so in tyres and put a grid on the bottom to prevent moles coming through. What I learnt from this is Potatoes can be grown in Winter just as long as you cover the leaves from the frost.

I trust you have an amazing week further.
