            Like this at best, but probably with 300mm long spindly shoots

              Last year I bought my King Edwards from Tesco on 24th January at £2.50 for a 2.5kg bag.
              Sowed them (5kg) on 21st April, lifted on 15th Sept. Reckon they should just about keep us going into February.

                Wilkos Bletchley hadn't got their seed spuds in when I looked on Friday, but they had empty shelves with labels ready for them and the varieties were Desiree, Maris Piper, Arran Pilot, King Edward, Rooster, Rocket, Maris Peer and Javelin. So once again I'll have to go elsewhere for my Charlottes and Kestrel.

                I think they're going to need some new price labels as their arithmetic doesn't seem very good.
