Title: Time span between planting early earlies and earlies (potatoes)
Post by: MaryM on March 14, 2006, 17:25:07
I am hoping to plant my early earlies on St Patricks day-how long then should I leave to plant the earlies?

Don't you put them all in as soon as practicable (chitted if possible but not essential)  & let them do their own thing?
