Yesterday, we harvested them. There were only a few plants and, although we did not get a lot of kumara, we are pleased with what we got.
We still have half a box of potatoes, mainly my favourite, Agria but some Cliff's Kidney. We are very pleased with our vegetable garden this year. It is time to get more in the ground for winter.
I would be so happy with that, kumara are sometimes so expensive. I used some in the pumpkin soup yesterday.Your own home grown is always the best
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how expensive they are this year, it is still early days. After being devastated last year things should improve.
DeleteI tried growing some once, but failed. Courgettes again this year, they're the only thing that will give a good crop in the short time we have.
ReplyDeleteStill picking courgettes here.
DeleteI wish that we could grow Kumara..but even in our greenhouse they wouldn't crop.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame.
DeleteThank goodness we get orange sweet potatoes which remind me of kumara. They've always been pricier than potatoes and thank goodness haven't got more expensive.
ReplyDeleteKumara were really expensive last year as the fields were under water with Cyclone Gabrielle. Doug's youngest daughter is going to drop off 3 kg of orange kumara on Saturday.
DeleteI have potatoes in the ground for the first time, hoping for a nice crop.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Ours did pretty well. We were pleased with them.
DeleteIt looks a good crop to me, Susan!
ReplyDeleteWe are happy with it and all for free, shoots just grown from an old kumara.
