Back in January, I had a small potato from the market that went green, so I decided to quarter it and plant it in this old wicker basket. The soil eventually got heaped up to slightly over halfway. Not too bad!

Awesome! They look great. Ours got eaten by the dreaded potato beetle last year so we're taking a few years off from growing them.

Thanks! These were experimental so I'm glad I got some eatable ones! A shame about the beetles.
