One potato, two potato, three potato… Family Gardening.

The next thing Lakeland suggested we might like to try was growing our own potatoes in their Patio Potato Planter Trio. The three bags arrived, and all seemed very simple, so using the shopping skills of previously-mentioned Grown up (what would we do without Gangy, eh?) we found ourselves equipped with a sunny afternoon, two bags of seed poatoes, compost, a watering can and four able willing assistants…

Not too tricky - soil, potatoes, then layer. What can go wrong?

Things start off all very civilised...

Then stated getting a le-e-e-tle bit out of hand. SOME soil went in the bags, honest.

One month later - exciting discovery. We have lift off!

We planted just the two bags to start with, and reserved the third which we have just planted up with ‘lates’.  It’s all very exciting though. Our very own potatoes!
