... early potatoes that is.
This afternoon I planted 15 Charlotte seed potatoes into 5 potato bags, each about a third full of compost. I think you are supposed to put 5 seeds in each bag, but last year I found that I had loads of tiny potatoes so I'm hoping that if I allow them more room to grow they might get a bit bigger.
Something else that I am trying for the first time is potato food pellets... I just sprinkled them throughout the compost before putting the seed potatoes in. I'm not sure if they are supposed to increase the yield of the harvest or the size of the potatoes. I'll let you know in twelve to sixteen weeks.
