Potatoes

How exciting! This is my first time at trying to grow tatties.

I have put my chitted seed potatoes into the raised bed. I am using half the available space so I only put 6 of them in there. I used a dutch hoe to create three small trenches about 60cm apart and planted each potato with the tubers facing upwards 40cm apart. Afterwards I covered them with a little compost(roughly 8cm).

I still have about 12 left so I have also put three in a large pot. It will be interesting to see how they progress. The remainder I may give away or plant in another large pot.
