Shed Building Plans: You Say Potato I Say Potato

You Say Potato I Say Potato

I planted my potatoes in fabric pots the other day. The pots themselves are Potato Bins from Gardeners Supply but they can also be purchased directly from the manufacturer, Smart Pots. These bins are 15 gallons and should hold 10-13 pounds of potatoes by seasons end. We will see. This is my first year growing potatoes and I was unable to get the ones I wanted. No one ships to Idaho, funny as this is often called the potato state. But apparently Idaho doesnt want any new diseases for their main crop. I guess I cant blame them, it just puts a crimp in my ordering plans.

I planted:

Red LaSoda
Yukon Gold
Red Norland

I will keep you all posted as to how well these grow. I havent moved them outside yet but plan to today or tomorrow. For now, they reside in the new garden shed/room. Love that space! I put 5 seed potatoes in each bin, mine didnt have tons of eyes so I left them whole. The wind has finally ceased today so we are out to work on the new huge garden area, (intimidating garden area). My husband is a saint as he has tilled even in the wind. I would not even go outside in those conditions.
