Default My Potatoes are lovely

Harvested my tub grown potatoes yesterday. I got 5lb all in one small patio tub. And they are so much nicer than shop bought. I didn't think potatoes tasted of anything until I ate mine tonight. I never liked new potatoes even Jersey royals tast of nothing to me but home grown are so different.

I love this home growing lark.

Pothead, I only used garden center compost. And grew them in one of these
Keter Flexible Tuff Tub Large 17182531 Yellow, 7290002179474

I drilled holes in the bottom and covered the shoots when they got to about 4 inches tall. Kept covering until the compost reached the top. Then just kept watering until the leaves died.
