Potatoes - Earlies or maincrop?

[real food]

:) I grow my early potatoes (rocket, swift and Karlena) under fleece for the earliest crops outside. I also try some in the greenhouse in a box, though watch out for blight! Swift has short stems and is particularly suited to growing under cover.

I am going to try and get a potato together in the Lincoln Area next year Phil.  I have had a word with my lottie sec and a few others and it is interesting what you say about the PTAs.  I would never have thought about them.

I know a man who would be happy to supply you in the Lincoln area - he's got 143 varieties of me plus 25 of them as organically grown

Thanks Phil - you pm'd me details when I first cautiously mooted the idea November/December time.  Might get organised in time for next Jan  ;D  Unfortunately, my lottie society does not get on with the main local lottying organisation, so I am going have to put in more of the initial hard work setting things up.  Confident I can do it though.

I went to Charlton Park in Wantage at the weekend. They'd already sold out of quite few varieties, i wanted to get some International Kindneys and there was none left, got Arran Pilot instead.

RC,

If you have problems like that I hope I can help, the PM facility seems to have disappeared - can anyone help?

Keef,

Charlton Park hasn't run out, they are keeping most of the stock back for the Hampshire Potato Day to make sure we don't run out
