Single seed potato challenge #sspc 2022

 Earlier this year I was sent one un named variety of potato and I had to chit it then divide the spud up with each piece containing one chit. I've had issues with drainage in the buckets but have managed to grow 1.780kg of potatoes from that single potato


Initially I was a bit disappointed with the weight but having thought about it I am absolutely delighted with all the lessons that I've learned from taking part. I'd already had to harvest one bucket of potatoes due to the drainage issues and made a separate now of the weight which I added to the total.

      Not bad at all and I learned such a lot from growing them.
