🌱🥔 Growing Christmas Potatoes | Plant Now, Harvest at Christmas!

Plant now, dig for Christmas dinner! 🌱🥔 In this UK-friendly guide I show how to grow “Christmas potatoes” using cold-stored second-cropping seed potatoes. We’ll plant 3 tubers per 30–40L bag with fresh peat-free compost, earth up as shoots grow, keep watering steady, and switch to a high-potash feed once foliage is 20 cm tall. From October, move bags into a greenhouse/polytunnel or wrap with fleece to dodge frost and late blight. Stop watering 2–3 weeks before harvest to set skins, then lift baby new potatoes from late November to Christmas. Varieties to try: Charlotte, Maris Peer, Nicola, Casablanca. #ChristmasPotatoes #GrowYourOwn #UKGardening #Allotment #PotatoesInBags #ContainerGardening #Greenhouse #Polytunnel #PeatFree #HighPotash #WinterHarvest #GardeningWithBen
