    Yes, give it a go and plant a few a week apart so that you have a regular supply (if you have the room of course). I have 8 trugs/Bags for Life/Potato Planters at various stages of growth and they are looking quite good. Hope to have a crop by the end of June and they taste great! :)

    Will do, our little garden is being taken over by pots, tubs and bags!

    But we had our first ever home grown spoils (pak choi) on Monday night, which tasted amazing, so plenty of incentive to keep goping and trying new stuff!

    Hi all, I've got some new pototaoes growing in a 'grow pod' thing . The shoots are just starting to come through-should I cover them up with compost as soon as they pop through the surface or wait til the leaves are showing?
    Thanks for any help :-)

    I would let them develop a little first then once the shoots have sprouted and there is leaf growth you can earth them up.
