;D Hi guys back again to pick your brains. I managed to get some potatoes off freecycle to pop down the lottie. Maris piper and swift.
I know the swift are early as there the ones i have in the garden. But what are maris piper? Also is it to late for swift poatoes. I have had mine planted for about a month!
Thanks 8)
maris piper are main/late potatoes and a very good all rounder. not too late to plant the earlies, get em in
Earlies only means how long they take to form tubers... you can put them in now until about early July. Maris Piper take longer but still have bags of time...
;D
Great thanks ;D I know what i'll be doing tomorrow after work if its not raining (again). Hi ho hi ho of with me spuds I go ;D ;D ;D
From memory Maris Piper is supposed to be the variety for proper chipshop chips..... time to see if you can freecycle a deep-fat fryer.... :-)
charlottes can be planting in the summer for christmas potatoes, but can i dig the potatoes up the i planted in the spring and replant them for christmas spuds?
Not really, they'll be growing by now!
No sorry i meant after they have flowered and i have dug them up can i replant them for christmas spuds?
You can but you'd be better planting Christmas spuds inside.
ok i'll try replant them in pots and move them into the greenhouse when it gets cold. Thanks :)
