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.
Cottage pie calling no horse (or rabbit) as meat from our local butcher
Never grown potatoes in bag's before, always in open ground but has they take up so much room, I is gunna have a go at growing all mine in bags this year! have even designated a thirty foot long path just for that purpose!
Lizzie! Always gets me with seed Potatoes! Our local "Potato Day" Doesn't happen till back end of Feb beginning of March, n ya can't plant till all fear of frost as gone!
