Allotments 4 All

Sorry to everyone who's shaking their head and resignedly setting out to explain it yet again  ;D  But ... when people talk about planting potatoes for Christmas and New Year, what kind of potatoes are we talking? 

Earlies because they grow from planting and are not dependent on things like light length to prompt them to bulk up.

Many thanks Redclanger.  Any advice on varieties?

I'm planting two kestrels and two rockets (they are what I grew this year) in a bin.

    Hi  Ellkebe   You asked about varieties to grow for Christmas.
   Here are four that I know of, Carlingford, Charlotte Maris Peer and Nicola.    LesH

You can buy them from Thompson and Morgan seeds
