You can grow tatties in a bag anywhere, minimum mess and a lovely harvest. Use a compost bag, sturdy old shopper or any other strong bag you have. Kids love digging for buried treasure when harvest time comes. Now is a good time to get planting. Gardeners’ World has a short step-by-step guide here.
You can ‘chit’ your tatties to get a faster and better crop – this means leaving them somewhere cool and light for a few weeks to start sprouting. Gardeners’ World has more information here. You can grow them without chitting though, so if you’ve run out of time, it’s still worth planting them.
