One FC

 

Well done for remembering Freddy, that was over a year ago. I didn't think to mention it

 

The growing upwards don't work for all varieties, that one was Pink Fir Apple

 

How did we get from Peas to Potatoes?

 

Hehehehehe FC, can't take the gardener out of the garden?

 

Gotcha seeds will post tomorrow have popped in a couple of varieties and instructions

 

Use any bags for spuds..I've used old compost bags here...



A few inches of compost/soil..then pop 3 seed tatties in and cover with some more compost/soil..job done (dont forget to pierce a couple of holes in the side for drainage).

As they grow you'll need to earth up and you can do this with copost if you have it, or grass clippings, shredded paper, old leaves etc etc. The aim no is to exclude light to any tubers growing on the stem as they grow so any old soil, compost will do..I've even used the previous years hanging basket contents along with leaves shredded paper and grass clippings.

Before I got my allotments I used to raid the neighbours green bins for graas clippings (I did have permission) and the church next door used to give me theirs too.

And at the end of the growing season I would empty the whole bag onto my beds or into the compost heap...double bonus!
