Too late for potatoes
Hi
Yet another question! I'm considering planting some potatoes in a container of some kind (oil drum? large plastic bin?) in my garden. I've never grown potatoes before, so it's all a mystery to me. From what I've read, it looks like I need to 'chit' some 'tubers' (are these seed potatoes?) by putting them in egg boxes or whatever, then plant them out and wait (soiling up when necessary). I see that thompson-morgan.com sell tubers for a few quid, but I presume these need chitting which is going to take some time. Everything I've read suggests that the potatoes need planting about now, so do I have time to chit and plant this year? I don't have room to grow lots of potatoes, but just a few would be nice. I'd really like some small, waxy potatoes (I've heard that Ratte and Wilja are good) for salads. I'm not too bothered about bigger spuds. Thanks! Mark |
