Harvesting Your Potatoes:
Once the potato plants begin to flower and the foliage starts turning yellow and dying back, it’s a sign that your potatoes are ready to harvest. Carefully tip the container over, or dig through the soil, to collect the potatoes. Small, “new” potatoes can be harvested earlier if desired.
Benefits of Growing Potatoes in Containers:
Year-Round Harvests: You can move containers indoors during colder months, allowing for year-round growing.
Space-Saving: No need for a big garden! Containers can be placed on patios, balconies, or wherever you have room.
Less Maintenance: Growing in containers reduces the risk of pests and diseases, and managing soil moisture is easier.
By using plastic containers, you can grow fresh, delicious potatoes all year round, right at home. It’s an easy, rewarding process that anyone can do, even without a traditional garden!
