Default Potatoes

Hi All

I have just put my potatoes out in pots to grow and was wondering do you
think I need to cover them with fleece? Looks like we are going to have a
few days of mild weather at least till the weekend...

You will only need to cover the tops when they appear as late frosts can
damage the developing haulm and set the plant back. At this time of year, at
least here, the pot will not freeze through.
