    Hey Nick
    Unfortunately the rats do have there share of the potatoes as they are not too far under the ground but I think that's a good sacrifice for not having to dig them.

Nevertheless, nearly 10 kilos in one row that's not bad at all. Your single seed potatoes are coming on fine. I will have to look at Roberts' outcome. What variety of spuds are yours?
