Answer 1

You are probably too and quit honestly when you have lost the early potato growing main pots are so cheap it is probably as well buying a bag saying that  you can try growing an early variety or a very high yielding potato then harvest them early I think desiree would be a good bet also maris piper one of the things I am going to try this year is growing some in pots probably desiree and see if I can have new potatoes for christmas of course they will have to be kept from frost and given as much daylight as possible fertiliser a 20-10-10 or 15-30-30 for growth and formation

Answer 2
