Only one?... probably PFA, possibly Congo... but as I have a potato day less than a mile from my house next weekend I could get 20 different plants into the positions if I wanted :D..... I'd probably split so that I had 5 PFA, 5 Setanta, 5 Congo and 5 Lady Christl. Thankfully I'm not in that position, I will be growing lots of spuds this year cos I have a new plot to clear..

I was also about to suggest a Potato Day, if any are near you - that way you could get a few of each. I do know what you mean about swap partners, I couldn't try all the ones I do without a couple of friends to share stuff with  :)

Let us know what you get!  :D

Went to Wilkos today. They didn't have a lot there, so I got Nicola and PFAs. Then saw a pound shop and went in and got Charlottes (can't do without those!) and Maris Peer. It was all a bit impulsey really!

I might go to a potato day too, although I shall have to show some restraint as I have 26 potatoes already!
gone to pot :D

We went into B&Q yesterday & they have potatoes in but I could only find second earlies & main crop they did have basket plants in ::) with  a sign at the side of them, so not in full view, not to put outside yet.
