Latest to plant potatoes
« on: April 27, 2012, 21:43:39 »
Hi folks

I've got a few spuds left over from planting my first and second earlies - JBA did me some extras!

I've promised them to a lassie on my home Island of Mull but I'm not going to be up there until mid May. Will she be still ok to plant them by then? They are in the shed at the moment, next to the window. Chits are about 1/2" and they are feeling a little soft.

Cheers

Gordon

Keep them relatively cool and in good light and they should be OK

I haven't planted my first, second earlies and main crop varieties will probably put them in next week weather permitting!
