Title: Sowing Potatoes
Post by: northener on March 27, 2005, 10:00:51
Morning all happy Easter. I'm hoping to plant the potatoes soon wondering how you plant them do the shoots face downwards?

Sprouts/shoots face upwards!

Never thought about chopping the flowers - more work!

This is NOT a recommendation, but I really don't have time to faff around with boxes.

And I rub off nothing until - if I feel like it - planting time. And then only with the maincrop.
