A guy on our allotments gave me some spuds today. he had a bucket with holes in the bottom and he filled thw bucket full of spuds then hosed them off. The water and mud ran out of the holes and he was left with nice clean spuds (which he gave me - what a nice man!). You could use holey wellies for washing your spuds.

Those wellies look better on the photo than in reality!

That tattie washing facility sounds a good idea, too.

I should have photographed your 'dead welly' garden lol

I thought that they looked good as they were!

Oh dear, dead wellie garden... Sounds awful, but you are right. Time to do something about them! One pair will soon be reduced to slip ons for the garden. I think sandals might be a bit of a problem, what with steel toecaps...

Bazil - how long have you lived in Scotland? Never eaten tatties and neeps

?

Yes, they are swedes - or Swedish turnips, to give them their full name.
