Sounds like a good selection Dave, welcome to A4A... remember to earth them up if the leaves pop up while it is still frosty at night..  :)

Also as you are growing in bags you will need to water them quite oftain

Good to see you on the forum.  Every success with the spuds.   ;)

Thankyou seems very friendly
Got me carlingfords today just put a few in.sprouted nicely already to plant
Been watering them well
Is it ok to earth over the leaves as a couple are quite well grown ?
Do i just keep adding soil around them as they get taller?
Thanks dave

Hiya, Davers, welcome to a4a  ;D
We've just drawn the soil over the tops of our potatoes as there's some chilly nights at the moment  :)
