Its me again - getting there slowly.
Has anyone had any experience of the Victorian Potato Planters (for patios) that you can buy?
I have some spuds in the ground, some in big green bag planters but wondered if a couple of those would look nice/work on the patio for next year?
despite having a bus pass, I am quite new to all this, and the help given so far has been fantastic.
Last year I managed to grow purple and white carrots for our Viking Living History - this year I don't seem to be doing quite as well, but I'll get there. Occasionally the girls even allow me to keep some to eat for myself!
Many thanks in advance

What are them Sandie? I suppose a potato barrel of design, as planters I understand to be a tool for planting, anyhow I have no experience of them, that's mostly due to refusing to buy one for the money and doubting it's usefulness.

I saw them in a magazine and have once again used the wrong term, its a potato barrell. You actually put the spuds into them and you can remove a panel at the bottom to get to the crop.
If you put Victorian potato barrel into Google there are lots of links - not sure if putting links in here is allowed and don't want to upset anyone by doing the wrong thing.
I'm thinking in advance as I would ask for them as Christmas pressies from the family I hope that explains it a little better.
