I planted 20kg of potatoes this year, and harvested 400kg. Astonishing vegetable, which deserves adulation.

Besides: Chips. Mash. Roasted Potatoes. Rostis for pretentious people, Stargazie Pie. What's not to love?

More potassium than a banana,more vitamin c than an orange. https://www.organicfacts.net/health-ben ... otato.html

There ain't a way you can't cook taters that is not a miracle. And fruit gets all the credit. What can you do. People like a bit of drama.

I'm from Bodmin, not Newlyn, so it's nasty foreign muck to me, but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargazy_pie

Stargazy pie (sometimes called starrey gazey pie, stargazey pie and other variants) is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards (or sardines), along with eggs and potatoes,

Each farming village here has its own vegetable festival. Strawberry for one.
One village has a kolokasi festival.
I just hope they dont copy the helston flower festival tradition of throwing them at each other :shock: :shock: :shock:

I just cant work out the last line of that advert...
"You will have the time of your life"

I won't argue on that except to say I've never seen a recipe containing potatoes.

How do you grow good garlic? I bought proper garlic cloves for planting last Autumn.The largest I harvested was about the size of a marble.

I got early purple wight from the Isle of Wight Garlic Farm. Grew good size cloves, no special treatment. (BF&B before planting, ensure they dont get too dry in the hot weather, yada, yada).
And then there is Elephant Garlic.......
