In today's podcast, I am planting some new potatoes for Xmas. Something I don't usually do but thought I would give it a try this year. I also have the latest from the plots and a couple of announcements.

Planting Xmas new potatoesThis year I have decided to give growing Xmas new potatoes a go. Usually, I am a fan of roasties on my Christmas dinner plate but as this year is all about growing as much as I can I thought it would make sense to grow some new potatoes.



There's nothing different about growing these potatoes other then we are planting them at this time of year rather than early spring. Just plant them in a bucket keep well watered and feed. Then perhaps in October, we will move them into the greenhouse. Sounds easy but will the results be worth it?
