Despite my scepticism I have to report that the ‘random experiment’ is growing, and at a very fast rate, in fact it seems to be getting bigger every day. Consequently we have topped up the potato compost but it still seems to be shooting through. I can’t wait to see if we actually get any potatoes off of it, if anyone knows how long it will be before we can harvest the potatoes please leave a comment.

In other news we have also had our first strawberry! It was really nice and sweet, and probably all the sweeter because it came from our very own strawberry plant in our garden!

The strawberry plants are continuing to crop really well at the moment which is encouraging. In fact we have been told that we have another strawberry plant growing as there is and I quote, ‘a knuckle’. So you will be able to see that we have planted this shoot in another pot away from the Cultivation Station to see if we get another plant.
