We once lived in an upstairs flat and I grew potatoes in a large plant pot in the window. 9lbs of spuds from 3 spuds is a very good crop!northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-82576143256576852382022-03-02T10:44:56.281-07:002022-03-02T10:44:56.281-07:00We did the same thing last year with some heritage...We did the same thing last year with some heritage blue potatoes. They were great! I dug them from the bed they'd sprouted in and potted them up in big plastic buckets. We had an excellent crop.

I once told our cat Domino to get out of 'Portugal'my polytunnel and he climbed up the wooden door frame and used the top of the polytunnel for a trampoline. There are a few cat claws rips in the plastic. We always keep a roll of polytunnel ready for any emergencies like rips. northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-63550648599811520782022-03-01T05:33:20.068-07:002022-03-01T05:33:20.068-07:00We have never had a polytunnel or greenhouse.

I used it as a conservatory, and if she zipped it closed to stop me lying on the seed trays, I used to work at tearing it apart at the corners. F wants to know if polytunnel plastic is cat-claw proof?Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-45880318880684305732022-03-01T03:53:23.200-07:002022-03-01T03:53:23.200-07:00I wish YP.
