My poor allotment has been sadly neglected :(, since a family bereavement earlier this year meant I had rather less enthusiasm than usual for anything, including gardening.
However, I am determined that all will not be lost, and so DH and I went down over the weekend to attack the jungle. The plot isn't in too bad a state, just requires a lot of hard work over the next weeks and months. I noticed that all the spuds on our site had been quite badly frosted over the last week, and some had even been in flower.
I had at least got around to buying my seed potatoes, which have sat around in the hall ever since.
The Maincrop ones are fine, just look like I have been diligently chitting them ;D, but the first earlies have turned into little potato plants, reminiscent of large spiders :o. So:
Is it worth planting them at this late stage in the game?
If so, should I plant them deeper than usual?
Any input, thoughts or ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Tina.
