It sounds silly, I know, but can you imagine my surprise when I found plump red kumara underneath? It was like finding buried treasure- I'm not sure I really expected there to be anything there!
We didn't get a huge yield, maybe 1 big, 2-3 fist sized and a couple of weeny ones per plant, I only had half a dozen plants, but the bucketful will keep us going for a couple of weeks.
And then I broke up the seed garlic, and planted that (in a different spot, I might add. I planted some mustard seed where the garlic had been.) The garlic was really photogenic!
I also did some much needed weeding, pulled out the beans and built a teepee around some self seeded sweetpeas. It was quite productive, and the blisters on my hands are evidence I haven't done any in a while!
