Thankyou for the replies so quickly.
So that sounds great news, i have now googled the two varieties i have and they do sound pretty good so will look forward to getting them in the ground, prob not this weekend now as i am going to finish my greenhouse off and dig some more ground over.
So with first earlies it is ok to plant in the next week or so ? for some reason i thought they should have gone in already, i will start looking round to find something then as i do love new tatties.
Hazel, space really is not an issue, i have half my garden spare at the mo, about 6mx12m , and nothing in the allotment yet, about 10mx 23m so happy to try a few varieties.
The one thing that would worry me is storing them, how long will they last and how do i keep them ? farmers must store them for months with no ill effects.
I have 93 seed potatoes at the mo, and if i get some more i dont want hundreds of kilos of spuds and see them all go bad !
