First Early Potatoes - Maris Bard

Quite a bit of research and asking around on how you know when to pick first early potatoes.  It seems that, because they don't store very well, you should get them up as soon as you can and eat them as you harvest them.

Apparently for second early and main crop you wait until the leaves are dying a bit. But with first earlies it's as soon as they flower.  Anyway I dug one plant up and got a nice little handful.  Very cool. A few had the telltale creepy crawly hole in but most are OK.

Got a couple of strawberries, spring onions and beans for the first 'basket' of the season.
