Its the first year Ive grown vegetables in my urban garden, or "orto" if you prefer italian, here in Cork city. I was fairly optimistic about the year so planted artichoke, courgettes and small french bean plants...my optimism even stretched to butternut squash but also being realistic I planted some good old spuds.
Potatoes of the Sante variety really got going after a few weeks, the fine june weather really helped. I got the seed potatoes from fruithillfarm.com in west cork, they do loads more but order early.
More progress...
