Potato harvest!

We have harvested one of our containers of potatoes. From three eyes that we put in, we got eight medium-sized potatoes. I think we would have done better had we planted the eyes lower down - all the potatoes were in the top half of the container. We are leaving the other container for longer, partly because the plants still look happy and partly because there's not much point harvesting yet when we haven't eaten the first batch. We don't intend to store these.

Here is a link about growing and storing potatoes. Now I just need to think what we can put in the empty container so it isn't sitting there doing nothing all through winter.
