| How To Grow Potatoes |
You
can plant potatoes in a small garden by using containers, bags or
pots. That way you free up your garden for other less intrusive
vegetables.
When To Plant Early Seed Potatoes
Between
now and April is the time to plant the seed potatoes. But be
aware of the dangers of frost at this time of year. Cover the
soil with straw if you can get some, if not then use polythene bags.
For
these early variety crops you will be able to harvest in about eight
weeks.
