Lovely Adam............

Yours are doing much better than mine this year. I think the strong winds have battered them too much. And it's been very dry in this part of Essex!

That doesn't matter. You won't need it 'til the winter comes. Stop making excuses. You blokes are all the same!

Those 'potato bags' are great. I've just harvested the first of an impressive crop of new 'Maris Piper' and they were delicious. Tesco, eat your heart out.(sorry about the pun) That seems like a good idea, planting again and keeping the bags in the greenhouse, for Christmas tatties. I'm gonna try that!
C'mon Ian, race ya!

Great idea Pammie, I never thought of putting them in containers of some kind so you could move them, You've got me thinking now ??????????????

Last 2 years I have used " sacks" that I bought to grow potatoes.[can buy from garden centres , have 2 carry handles ].
My potatoes have been eaten ....BUT I have set some more in them trial and error........possibly put in greenhouse later if I decide to carry on into the winter months.I like trying different things

Cheers Adam. look forward to your results :-))

It has been known for people to plant a few potatoes about now for 'new' potatoes to have with their christmas lunch but they would take a lot of caring for. Potatoes do not like frost and will curl up and roll over at the first sign of any. If you 'earth up' your spuds and use fleece and/or straw to protect them then it is perfectly viable to achieve some lovely 'newies' for christmas. good luck and please let me know how you get on :-))

Sprouts are very hardy and good in cold weather - plus, a bit of frost on the sprouts before harvesting causes the starch to turn into sugar, so they are much better (and tastier) outdoors!!
On question - brussel sprouts
yes and it didnt work for me. it was too warm and they bolted rather than making sprouts. have had better success with cabbage though.
