I decided to pull the volunteer potato plants from the sweet corn bed. They were never in this area of the garden, and so must therefore be self-seeded. I think they are either. Charlotte or Desiree. In any event they had pale lilac scented flowers.
We gathered 3.3 kilograms, which is pretty awesome for a free plant.
My actual planted tubers (Charlotte) are well on their way, and fingers crossed they do so well. In any event these are a nice piece of compensation for the unmitigated disaster of the winter harvest ... all 13 bags ... that failed due to blight and deprived us of homegrown new potatoes at Christmas lunch.
