    evening all bob flemming here,I'm unfortunatly on the last few plants of my potatoe crop so my garden is looking a bit sp****.

    Does anyone know if i can plant any more spud crops in the same ground for another flourishing later in the summer,and if so what would you recommend?

    Thank you Bob.:thumb:

    Hi Bob. To be on the safe side, I wouldn't use the same ground. The conventional wisdom is to rotate your crops, pests/nutrients etc. Cheers...freddy.

    I think if the first crop grew without any sign of disease, there won't be any problem growing a second crop in the same ground in the same year.

    Put some inside a greenhouse or sunny room in a large pot.

    Or start in buckets outside and bring in when the temperature drops.

    Spuds will grow!
