It\'s time to start planning what you will be growing this year. The first couple of months of the year are very important in the gardener\'s calendar. They are the time to be looking for ideas on what plants you should be growing this year and time to plough through all those lovely catalogues and web sites looking for bargains.

The potato grow bag is a new invention designed to allow people to grow potatoes in confined space. Whether there\'s only a patio or a balcony won\'t stop you growing potatoes at home. For the fun of growing your own new potatoes it can\'t be beaten. The idea is very simple. It\'s a specially designed bag that\'s the right height and width for growing potatoes in. It can be started off indoors or in a sheltered part of your patio and within a month or two you can be harvesting your own potatoes. It\'s a great invention for people who want to start growing things at home. The bag\'s reusable too so can be used year after year, allowing you to try different types of potato including unusual heritage varieties.

For many people one of the first tastes of Summer will be new potatoes. You can grow potatoes even on a patio or balcony thanks to the invention of these amazing potato bags. They\'re the right shape and depth for growing potatoes, are more flexible than a pot and can be stored away folded flat after you\'ve finished growing the potatoes which means they don\'t take up room all year round.

Growing potatoes at home is easy. For those with limited space it\'s a good idea to grow First Earlies - or new potatoes as they\'d be called in the shops. They\'re able to be planted closer together and have a shorter growing season so will be on your plate quicker!

The bag is available to order online now and until the end of the month there\'s a special discount for readers of Garden and Gardener
