  • I enjoy growing earlies.  I grow them in sacks and love sticking my hand down the side and broggling for potatoes for my tea.  I just rinse them under the tap, cook them with a sprig of mint and then eat them with a big lump of butter. mmmmmmmmmmmm

    Always grow them in bags. Follow the T&M instructions and they seem to work. Even managed new potatoes for Christmas but I think the weather last year didn't help. This year will buy specialist fertilser - if I remembered

    Pots are now chitting and will have 6 bags/pots this year. image
