As a qualified horticulturist with many decades of experience, I do sod all in my own garden!
The wife has a large veggie patch she enjoys playing in. I learned early in the development of her hobby, to give advice only if asked.
One year she planted spuds, Dutch creams I think they were.
Why would you plant spuds when you can buy kilos for a few dollars, I thought to myself.
Well after tasting the spuds she grew I am at her every year, what spuds are you growing this year?
Home grown spuds are on another level to the supermarket offerings.
