Potatoes are well-known as a nutritious vegetable that can provide many health benefits. They are rich in carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and other minerals. They also contain some protein and very little fat. You don’t have to own a large backyard garden to start growing potatoes. Surprisingly, this easy-to-grow vegetable does well in containers, making it a perfect choice for gardeners who have little space, such as balconies, patios or rooftops.
Below, we will walk you through this comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you grow a successful potato harvest in containers and enjoy its fresh and crispy flavor.
1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE
To get off to a good start, select a potato variety suitable for container gardening. Compact or bush-type varieties work best, such as Yukon Gold, Red Pontiac, and Russian Banana.
2. TIME TO PLANT
Spring is the ideal time for potatoes to grow. Plant potatoes about 2-4 weeks before your last frost date. This timing allows the plants to grow during the warmer months.
