Grow your own potatoes in a bag... you don't need a huge garden



There is nothing like fresh vegetables from the garden unlike those you buy from the supermarket which are supposed to be fresh, but have been stored in chilled warehouses sometimes for weeks


You don't need a huge garden or allotment to grow some nice fresh vegetables.  You can grow them in containers, boxes, raised beds or even bags...



















I grow potatoes in bags.  But first of all you have to "chit" them which allows the potatoes to sprout to assist them in growing and rooting in the containers.

Put them in old egg cartons, or egg trays one in each segment and leave on a light sunny window until they sprout and it is warm enough to plant them outside.

I buy garden waste sacks - the sturdy ones and these will be perfect to grow them in.

You will not get a huge supply but even a couple of weeks of your own freshly grown potatoes... you will surely notice the difference.

Once they are ready to sow in a few weeks' time I will update you with what to do next.
