I've joined the ranks of the British public who, in the grip of the credit crunch have gone fruit & veg crazy. My first attempt at growing edibles in a confined space is the humble potato. I bought this special planter from Crocus.It was a bit fiddly to put together but seems sturdy enough to last a few years. I planted the seed potatoes it came with, added compost gradually & they've grown at a fair old pace. Apparently once it comes into flower I can harvest. Fingers crossed, when I lift up the sliders there will be lots of potatoes waiting for the pot!

well speaking as an avid potato lover I can confirm that nothing beats the masculine beauty of a firm home grown potato bursting with flavour.
Good luck - I look forward to hearing how it works out
you don't have to wait for flowering, depends how new you want your potatoes...
looking good though, good luck with your other veggie forays
i've grown bergamot before, heavenly scent but doesn't like being moved
