In my previous post, I wrote that our early potatoes had pushed through and that we were hoping that there wouldn't be a frost. We were unlucky, as Jack Frost paid us a visit before we could earth up the young potato shoots. It no doubt came as a shock to the plants after enjoying summery daytime temperatures.
Our newly emerged potatoes were subjected to a severe battering. Some disappeared completely. We have had potatoes cut back by frost before and they have regrown, but they have never before looked as badly damaged. Things didn't look good. To add insult to injury, potatoes elsewhere on the site didn't look as though they had been touched. It would seem that we have our own private frost pocket.
NB: Sometimes comments made here rather than on my main blog often are overlooked and languish in a moderation list. Sorry if this happens - I'm honestly not ignoring you
