Potatoes without the digging

I knows that lots of people associate potatoes with digging, but as our raised beds are at the office, none of us wanted to have to do too much digging, so we're using a Potato Grow Pot. The potatoes were placed in the planter and covered with compost on DATE. Today the leaves were already 12cms above this first layer and it was time to add an extra layer and more compost.

After initial concerns about growing potatoes above ground we're converted. This really is a superb way of growing potatoes on a patio - so simple and clean.

Unfortunately we have no idea what variety we planted because the person we sent to buy the seed potatoes (they shall remain nameless because we're nioce like that) can't remember what they bought!
Top gardening tip - write it down!

We're hoping for potatoes by DATE, we'll let you know the variety then.
