potatoes
Hello,
Following the advice here I bought some seed potatoes. I found 2nd earlies and main crop in the garden centre and took them home and chitted them. Later I bought some 1st earlies too. All varieties are now growing, but the 2nd earlies are taller than the 1st earlies; I don't know if that's because they had a head start as I bought the 1st earlies slightly later or whether that variety just grows taller anyway? It could also be the 1st earlies are slightly more in the shade. I have just moved to this garden so I don't have an established compost heap, so I have been buying compost to help with the earthing up. I have not used any feeds, so perhaps they have taken nutrients from the compost? What feeds do you recommend if any? I haven't done much watering; the rain has taken care of that. So with the exception of earthing up, they have been relatively maintenance free. What should I be doing to them? Finally, and most importantly, how do I know when it is time to harvest the tubers? Thanks. |
