Quince swap!

28/10/2013

 
I have the best of both worlds. Yesterday, before "the great storm," I dug up the last of my main crop potatoes, and dried them off in front of the Aga. I grew Picasso as my maincrop, and although each plant only produced 3-4 potatoes, they were whoppers.  

The dog fell asleep guarding them, exhausted by wind and rain. Alas, his efforts were in vain. I swapped half of them for some fragrant quinces. Mr. P is not happy, since he loves potatoes, but I am delighted, since quinces are hard to come by. Quince jelly will follow. Apply here if interested!
