It wasn't until this year that I became fascinated with growing potatoes. My intrigue's become, in part, because I've been rather interested in growing my own food, especially those things which are simpler to grow, that don't take up as much space & don't need full sun. I learned about potatoes growing from the eyes of other potatoes just by using two pots together, with the inner pot having four slats cut into it from where the newly grown potatoes will be reachable upon maturity. This link is to "Grow Your Own Potatoes" pots on Amazon, a 2-piece plastic container combination. This is essentially exactly what I did with the two identical pots which I purchased, then cut slats into - four relatively equal sized slats where the potatoes will be easily retrievable once grown.
This idea, this way of growing these potatoes, meant that it'd be quite possible to put the "double pot" of growing potatoes anywhere. There's no reason for this pot to not be able to move as needed, which is something that's important to me. If I need to tuck it out of the way, I can; if I need to have it nearby, I can. It's a convenient growing option for me & it's food, so it's super practical, which I definitely enjoy.
If I manage to water it as I need to & keep it monitored accordingly, it's going to be pretty exciting to get the results & have them turn out reasonably well. It'll be a true "green thumb" moment.
