Fabulous Shirl! I did water them quite a lot actually. Last year I grew some in a bigger pot and when I knocked them out I could see that the compost was quite dry inside though it was damp on the surface. They don't half drink it up! I had a rummage at the weekend and could feel a couple of reasonable sized spuds so I thought I'd have a go. When I knocked them out of the pot I couldn't see any round the edges (where I thought they might be!) Got a bit nervy then, I can tell you. However, there were some fine sized potatoes well inside. Certainly more than Himself and I could manage for our tea, so a few cold ones for later! I'm sure I said this last year but I shall do more next time!
