Hi Alistair
The comment arrived unscathed, packaging all intact and even the tape still in place. Well done making repairs. I doubt though that you will return at all conventional. -L

Hi Linnie, I have been in touch with akismet and they have just told me they have fixed the problem. Just doing a test run to see if this comes through without having to retrieve it from your spam. Please just delete this. Thanks for your patience. Alistair. I will be back with more conventional stuff later.

You must be brave! Time and tide and potatoes wait for no woman. Then too positive thinking helps, like images of new potatoes and fresh peas (it’s okay to BUY the peas). Get the shovel and let me know.

I hugely appreciate your gardening irreverence Lyn, planting those kitchen potatoes like that. And clearly you have raised teenagers. I would guess boys.

Hey, Linnie, you just reminded me that in the Amaranth Jungle there were some potato plants (I know I saw them sometime last summer). I wonder if I can still go and dig them up, or if it’s too late and they will be all rotted and disgusting, like teenagers’ socks. How could I have forgotten them? I am such a bad vegie gardener! I always plant whole potatoes, but I never bother to buy special ones, I just shove in the ones that have grown whiskers in the bottom of the pantry.

Yeah my blog brings out the worst in me too. But thank heaven I have readers like you Carolyn who encourage my gardening efforts with prognostications of doom. (You aren’t getting payments from Scotland are you?)

Yeah, they’re suppose to, and then you dig them up and supposedly potatoes!!! They need a LOT of water (and good drainage).

77 responses wow, do you pay these people. Just kidding, your blog brings out the worst in me….oh sorry again. I have done the potato thing in many differnet containers with no success whatsoever, not even soup. The plants grow beautifully and then die.

Oh no. My brain misfiring again. I was so certain it was something you recommended!

Fay! Mean WordPress filtered out your comment in the spam! (I hate it when the Information Superhighway becomes a gravel road.) I will put your vote in the ‘don’t cut the seed potatoes’ column, although I laughed to think of you threatening your potatoes with MY knife. Max tends to stay out of the raised vegetable beds, but his friend Argyle Braveheart, a Cairn, likes to graze on for example the cabbage leaves. Some ancient terrier leaning toward vegetarianism perhaps. And Max does like raw carrots…
