Spuds

[Dilberts]

Maybe a silly question but im going in blind can spuds still be planted now?

Yes they can, find autumn tubers..plant now and hopefully harvest for Xmas, hope I'm right fellow viners I put some in Fri, and have another batch on its way along with my onion sets .

Thanks ive just read carrots can go in is this true?

You can plant late cropping potatoes now BUT it is risky as potatoes will need frost protection and the days of blight can't be too far away now. I think you are better with potatoes in pots which can be moved undercover.
As for carrots you'd need to check the packet and go for a quick growing one like Early Nantes.

You have a better chance with carrots outdoors than potatoes...
As stated, depends on weather, but might be best in bags so that you can move into a greenhouse before frosts..
