Freshly Dug New Potatoes For Christmas Day

Today is Christmas Eve. Along with packing for our holiday in Sydney (we fly out at 7am on boxing day), I've been harvesting potatoes from my garden and setting up a watering system so that Patrick who is staying behind can easily keep the garden going.
Last night we tried the first lot which were dug from the garden. Today we harvested the potato bags...so much easier to just tip a bag over in the garden and sort through the dirt for the bounty! I've never grown them before so it was all a bit of an experiment.

Tomorrow they will be cooked along with mint from my herb garden. We will also take lettuces and radishes from the 'green smart' bins. Out other contributions to Christmas lunch will be brined rotisserie chickens and pavlova.
