potatoes in greenhouse

My potatoes in the greenhouse are growing well.  I am just concerned whether it might get too hot for them. If I put them out they would have a lot of foliage to cover.

I think you are due for the frost Friday Saturday.  So are we down here.  I've got some toms outside and a layer of fleece  over a bell cloche perched on top will have to do.  They were OK with this strategy a couple of weeks ago in the light frost we had.  Good luck

They tend to produce fairly soft topgrowth in a greenhouse and have problems coping with the outside weather so I leave mine under glass but regularly mist them if the weather is too hot.

Picked the first of this year's crop yesterday.
