highlighted what i would consider important bits, but im just a novice :D

Suppose that you could always report your card as lost after placing/receiving the order and get a new one with a new number.

Just to be safe.

I've been away for a few days and came back to find my box in the porch... on its side in comparison to the arrows and the 'live plant' notice!!! Thank goodness it wasn't seedlings!

Can't believe it!!! They arrived today. I'd resigned myself to the fact that Fothergills had rumbled their mistake and I'd be the only one not to get the tatties. Apparently it was a mistake they were only meant to be free with something else they were promoting. Good that they've honoured the orders though. Think these spuds will go in containers lottie is full  ;D

Got mine too.  ;D

Thanks for the link.

So when are you planting yours?

It's still a bit cool up here so mine are "chitting" away for another couple of weeks.

Mine are chitting away as the potato bed hasn't been dug yet. Has anyone ever tasted hunter potatoes?

Hi Folks,

Just wondered how your free Hunter spuds are doing?

A couple of ours have "collapsed" with all the rain lately and when dug up  the haums were wet & plodgy with only a small haul of spudies.  :(



The plant that has collapsed changed from the dark green leaves to a lighter green.

I think the same could happen in the rest as seen from one near the center.



The spuds did taste very nice though.  ;D
