Well I've finally done it, put some chitted ones in a black bag...Wilja...first time, so fingers crossed. Has anyone grown these and is there anything I need to know about this variety? Thanks Val.

I got some spuds in today.  First real session on the plot for yonks so was glad to get out doing something.  I'm doing no dig spuds and put them in a sandwich of cardboard, manure, spuds then black sheet mulch. Fingers crossed I've not just made a rabbit and mouse picnic table  ;D   Oh forgot to mention slugs

I've planted Arran Pilot.  My next lot going in tomorrow is Desiree.  The manure I;ve got is rock hard so I watered it tonight hoping it will have gone a bit softer overnight.
