Just showing off a bit..........
We planted 4 potatoes in march
3 were the same variety, 1 was different.
One potato bust into action
As you can see, 3 were much slower
The '3' started to catch up
Until the '3' got much bigger than the '1'
The plant closest to the camera was the first
to show & seems to have given up!
One of the '3' starting to flower
The '3' have completely taken over,
Time to have a look to see if we have
any food?
SM dives in to harvest the spuds!
Now we know the '1' plant was an early
& the '3' are main crop Desiree
So we have finally got some food
'1' down '3' to go
I am hoping there is a few more at the bottom of the container
I ll have a good dig around in a few days, if not
I might steal a few red potatoes from under one of the other plants!
The main reason for this was to see the if & how of growing potatoes in containers,
we'll maybe use this method to grow potatoes for xmas?
