Late summer (august and early sept) is the time to grow potatoes for christmas. Potatoes need to be cold stored prior to planting. I use second earlies. Place 2 potatoes in a pot or bag. No need to chit or earth up. When autumn arrives, move to somewhere sheltered like a porch or shed. Cut back the foliage and store them in the tub until you need them. Just harvest potaoes as and when you want them. Leave the remaining potatoes under the soil until you want more. Potaoes are ready betwen mid october and christmas #gardening #savemoney #growyourown #fyp #foryou #foryoupage
