RE: This year my big adventure will be growing potatoes: January 12 2019
I used to love planning my allotment. Potatoes are a fab thing to grow... had both success and failures with them.
They do quite well in large tubs btw.
All my gardening equipment's in the cellar now.... got to focus on growing my website instead!

Any special recommendations? I was thinking sbout three varieties, I'm now coming round to one all-rounder - Duke of York seems the best bet so far.
I'm torn between the tubs and in the ground. I've one very good bed - best soil and position - and I'm torn between using it for potatoes (right place in the the manuring/composting cycle) and keeping it for tomatoes and greens. Tubs would be good on one of the upper beds - still ridden with tree stumps and the dreaded bamboo encroaching from next door.
How's the website going? You've got quite a good schedule, I think?
