I have successfully grown potatoes in potato bags, about 3 in each I think. But has anyone grown potatoes in the black flower buckets? Are they too small or would you get enough for a meal out of 1 bucket. ( 1 potato in each) ? Just a thought

You certainly will. I have just set 13 buckets in the GH to be a little bit earlier than normal.
If your like me you from 1 seed you will start at one boiling because you can't waited but as they go on this will increase.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Do you do Earlies or Charlotte's? In the small buckets I mean? These will be outside.Last edited by Dorothy rouse; 10-03-2017, 03:34 PM.DottyRComment

I replant the ones I harvest early - the little potatoes still attached continue to grow until the tops die down.Originally posted by Potstubsdustbins View PostA life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

What are the measurements of your UK flower buckets? I can get them here but they come in a variety of sizes.Comment

They come in slightly different sizes here too. The standard one is about 11ltrs or so.Potty by name Potty by nature.
