I risked bean fly this year without a cover. I lost half the plants but the royal burgundy survived, lucky because it’s my favourite.

We’re slowly getting better at this. Almost a dozen potatoes from 2 seeds. And I didn’t feed this soil, it was literally a left over pot that I chucked the seeds in because I was really sick at the time. This is our June experiment.

FYI these are short day varieties so harvest is earlier than a lot of common ones where harvest is normally November.
