Harvesting Java Main Crop Potatoes



A couple of hours on the allotment this afternoon, feeding the worms in the Hotbin and harvesting my first bucket load of Java main crop potatoes. Emptied the bucket into the tray and liking what I saw straight away.


Nice size of Java maincrop potatoes, from first view. 

Java Maincrop potatoes extracted from the compost & soil and brushed off and left in the sun to dry out a little.

Decanted the Java spuds into a tray with some onions to bring home. I have another 9 buckets of Java Maincrop potatoes to harvest, but by time some have gone to my eldest daughter and sister when I share the love, it will be time to harvest the next bucket load, and repeat the process. The soil in the buckets will top up the raised beds that are already consolidating and need topping up.
