Tater Plots

[hobby_gardening]

I finally planted my potatoes! There were so many delays, several due to ill health, but now I have five bags; two containing Pink Fir Apple, two containing Duke of York and one with Sharpe's Express. It took one and a quarter large bags of compost.

I'm not entirely pleased with the bags. They're about two, two and a half feet tall which I think is too short. I would have preferred three and a half to four feet - more room for the potatoes to multiply.

As the shaws (leaves) come through I'll add seven or eight inches of compost, all the way to the top, which should be in July, I believe. Looking forward to the lovely early spuds already!
