Here's a clearer look.

The blue tubs are quite deep though some of the other pots aren't.

Check them for carrots, Carol, to avoid possible disappointment later.

Don't be surprised if you find a suede jacket.

Re: My little corner

Had some of ours already and they never disappoint..no flavour like home grown can match shop bought ones....some are turning yellow so will dig them up tomorrow and see what is occuring...Have grown them in potato sacks and was pretty successful, but with so much space in this garden, in the ground for us..
carrots not much luck with them....or parsnips.. Tomatoes though are easy just about anywhere...can make your own Tomato sauces and freeze them with the surplus...bolognese and lasagna need a good tasty sauce....
Maybe have a go at Tomatoes Carol, if you like them...you can get some instructions if you fancy growing them next spring...Your potatoes in the tubs look big enough, but sure your let us all know....

I planted then a few inches from the bottom of the pot & as they grew I added more compost.

I found how to do it on on YouTube.

I don't like tomatoes & yes I'll let you know know the potatoes turn out.

Yes, that’s how I planted mine too. Fingers crossed.
