Ive planted some up now in tubs in the green house,just as an experiment, and will do each week for the next 15 weeks then harvest first sown and replant one and so on, see if I get tatties for xms. Mi e are in the gh so they wont be bitten by frost...
I too was surprised at the speed of growth. I planted a potato at the bottom of each large pot, filled with compost, and in a matter of weeks I had buds popping up at the surface and now leaves and stems.

all 3 bags are now growing well at the back of my garden and i have topped up the soil.
each bag is almost full of soil and leafs are just popping out
the rate they are going it seems a bigger bag may have been better
i presume these grow quick
from hardly a sprout on spud to out of the bags and growing high in about 6 weeks
can only do one more soil top up this weekend then no more room

im now wishing i had bigger bags, dont seem big enough really
so my bags are about a foot tall and now the plants are getting close to 4foot high
1 has fallen and broken stems, are they supposed to get this tall? i cannot add anymore soil.
trim them down a bit would help?
Leave them until the leaves begin to brown and then harvest.
thats what i thought but at this rate will be 6ft high and fall over and snap
