Grow Bags?

[Shawn]

Has anyone ever seen these Grow Bags?

I wonder if they work well for potatoes?  I would try it on my deck.  Anyone have info or have used them?

Anyone know how fast potatoes grow?

They are great for tomatoes, I know. You are adventurous..go ahead and try one out this year,Shawn.

I’ve neither used one nor grown potatoes, but my colleague always grows potatoes in ground and this looks like it would do the trick.  It looks deep enough.  But, I don’t know much about growing potatoes.  I’d like to give it a whirl myself.

I am going to look up potatoes and growing them.  If they do not take too long maybe I will give it a try.   

Off to research

Hmmm, potatoes take a long time to grow.  At least those I looked at.

I gave it a brief look on google before you posted your response and I remember thinking it sounded like shorter time than peppers, but my memory could be compromised.  I thought most root vegetables that develop underground (except radishes) took longer so I was kind of pleased and interested.  But, you don’t get to watch your fruit (like peppers) develop, which can make it seem longer.  Plus, I’m likely to forget about them, lol

Exactly.  Would I forget to check on them?  I am going to write Parks and see when I would plant if I got and when they would be pick-able.  I will report back.
