Crops 7 Sept 2013

Nature's Bounty today included:

Salad Bowl lettuce Figs (brown turkey) -which I meant to photograph but they were eaten with Parma Ham and the lettuce - totally delicious. Basil - as apart of a mango, chilli and basil salsa Runner Beans

and I harvested the main crop potatoes : Sarpo Mira - which were sampled as sauté.

Mira are a variety of potato developed the research team in Henfaes in Bangor to be blight resistant. In first inspection it seems they would make very good chips and roast spuds. I will photograph them in a future post. They have ranged from new potato size to a good half-kilo per spud. Yield very satisfactory - taste was good. Maybe tomorrow the "mash" test.
