Harvesting my Container Grown Potatoes.

 I harvested my container-grown potatoes.

I had hoped for better results but I'm still more than grateful for what I did get.

Maybe better watering (a weakness of mine) may have yielded better results. I'll try again next season with a few more variables until I stumble on a formula that works well.

Three Minute Monday Ep.10 Harvesting the Potato Bags.

Wow, ep.10 already.

To say I wasn't disappointed would be to tell a lie but they are super yummy potatoes even if the yield was a bit on the light side.

Not sure what I can do differently to improve things. Maybe more potting mix in the pot before I plant. 30cm rather than 15cm.

I might try a different variety next time, see if that makes a difference.

The time has come to harvest the potato bag.

The time has come to harvest the potato bag. While the harvest was small I remain hopeful of better harvests in the future. Three things I can do different, one is to plant earlier, two is to move the bags to a sunnier position and three is to increase the amount of water they receive. Three and a half would be to regularly apply liquid fertiliser. The reason I could supply more water is that I wasn't sure about the drainage of the bags. So in order to avoid a soggy mess and possible rotting the potatoes, I kept them a bit on the dry side. From what I could tell though is that the bags seemed to drain quite well.
