Good for you, I love to dig potatoes, there is something magical about seeing them in the earth or having a Firkle to see if any can be picked early for the first taste. It is kinda like clamming , so exciting when you dig up a big one.
It was with some trepidation I bumped it but glad I did now.
For years I didn't hill up my potatoes and I always lost out to me neighbours who did.
Oh and by the way for those who are unsure...A Firkle is an old English word for groping around the roots of a potato plant under the ground to feel what is there, so you can sneek a few baby ones without disturbing the plant.
