I put in about 10 potato plants each year because DH loves the baby
potatoes. I don't even know what kinds I have this year - some are
white and some are red. What I do is a few weeks before starting up the
garden I let a few potatoes in sprout. Whatever sprouts is what we get.
This year I had whites and reds. A nice surprise was 3 rogue potato
plants that popped up - one in the strawberry bed and 2 in the compost
pile.

As Im fairly new to gardening Id like to know how I go about growing
potatoes. What is the best time to grow them and whats the best brand?

As I dont actually have a garden I was hoping I could grow them inside
a big plastic bin, is this possible and whats the best time to harvest
if Im after new potatoes?
