You don't get more patient (ask me how I know!) but the patience gets spread more thinly if you know what I mean. If you only have half a dozen spuds and a few toms you are checking them every few minutes. When you've got a garden or a lottie (or more!) full then things have to get on with it a bit - you can't be looking at everything all the time.
Mikey's time lapse camera idea is a good one. Last year when I'd potted up my toms for the first time, little tommy plant each in its own 3" pot, I proudly took a pic. I took the same photo just a week later and couldn't belive the difference. Even though I'd been ranting at them every day to grow for mummy, they'd been doing it and I hadn't noticed!
