Potatoes for containers

[jacob marley]

This is for container growers in the midlands .
I was in Dobbies garden centre on the Kenilworrth road at Balsall Common this afternoon and noticed that they was selling Seed potatoes for 25p each ideal if you only need a few there was about 8 different varietys all scotch seed of course .
They had the usual 3kg bags as well but if you only want half a dozen the rest is a waste..jacob

Hi Jacob, is it a little bit early?
What varieties did they have? Am watching this space this year as i don't have a garden to grow my spuds in this year so its going to be container growing only.

I am trying to make an 'eat your own garden'. Limited space means that container potatoes are for earlies only. I then use the space for something else. At the moment I am storing samples of tatties I have enjoyed from local shops. 'Smile' and Red King Edward so far. My efforts in the past have been a bit dismal with only a couple of pounds from each plant. Suggestions would be welcome.
