First harvest of potatoes

I managed to harvest the first of my potatoes, just before the rain came today. It was quite an exciting experience, rooting around the soil to find the potatoes or tatties as they are known here in Scotland. Next will be a taste test, probably a potato salad to see if they are any good.
