Every year we seem to have volunteer potato plants which have grown
from potatoes we've missed when digging the previous year's crop.
These volunteers always seem to produce a large healthy crop of
tubers.
Because of this, we've been meaning for several years to try some fall
planted potatoes and finally, this year, we managed to plant several
different varieties in about 50 feet of row. It'll be interesting to
see how well they perform.

Ross, I'm also in SW Ontario Canada. Last year I planted potatoes in a
garbage pail. I harvested them too soon, on the advice of a friend (didn't
wait until the tops died off). I want to do it again, but the cost of the
soil is prohibitive and I've been told not to use the same soil over again.
Have you any experience with this? Planting directly into a garden plot
uses the same soil. Do you do anything to prepare the garden for
it?...thanks...Sharon
