Allotments 4 All

three bags of seed potatoes flung in the boot, take them out, two bags with labels dropped off. First earlies Swift and second earlies Foremost. I have replaced the labels an the assumption that the smaller variety with shoots on are Swift. What do you reckon? Either way even with advice I shall be still wondering if I am right. I might have to go back and get another variety of first earlies , well you can never have enough spuds.

Plant half of each as earlies, half of each as second earlies and you will guarantee to be half right both times.

You will eventually be able to identify the different varieties by checking the flowers against an internet search. They will still produce spuds however you plant them.

Ah! That is what "flung" done.

Chit um, till um and eat um.  Whats the problem?

Swift should only be seven  weeks till harvest a quite few weeks different from Foremost. Plus I have ground earmarked for planting and also to use for other crops when the spuds are dug up. Also I wanted a few swift in buckets in the greenhouse.

The Swift seed that I have are "cube" (or cuboid, to be fancy!), rather than "cylindrical" and long like the Charlotte.
