Jim Dandy:Certainly can get a big enough container , I've used a plastic rubbish bin put some compost in the bottom , put a couple of seed spuds in and as the tops grow keep filling up with compost, just leave a bit of green showing all the time and make sure you put in enough holes for excess water to drain off.

skipinnz: Thanks for the tip.I wonder when the best time to plant would be?

Jim Dandy: Well I'm getting ready to plant my seed potatoes but I'm in the southern hemisphere. Which will be the start of spring (Sept) thats as I want some by xmas, not sure where you are.

skipinnz: I'm in Eastern Canada,Toronto.April is probably my time.Drainage is a wise tip.What seeds should I investigate? I want the best tasting and the biggest.Frankentatoes

Jim Dandy:I have no idea as you'll have different varities to us. Only 1 I've ever heard of over there is Idaho spuds. LOL

skipinnz: Canada is no slouch in the potato industry.PEI taters are amongst the best,but it always tastes better when you grow it yourself.I'll do some asking around,thanks.

Jim Dandy: I'm so glad he's not greedy!~



As much as I love potatoes, I should try growing some next year.

Eriisa: Yes,we could have a off to see who can grow the most ginormous
