THE TATTIES THREAD 2018

You could have been down here, got Sarpos, got lashed up and been on your way back by now

 

JBA prices seem quite reasonable, any experience with them @Scrungee ?

 

No, but @Steve R does

 

Sounds like my type of day out !

 

Just tipped my bucket o spuds out



Not a huge yield but a few meals there

 

Is that your entry for The Spud In A Bucket Growing Competition 2017 ?

 

Not entering it as it looks like there might've been more than one variety in there.

Either that or one grew from seed and i've just given meself solanine poisoning

 

Indeed I have, I drive up to their farm every year and buy direct for our whole allotment site. It's huge and always a lorry leaving and one arriving.

Never had a problem with their seed.

Steve...

 

Following their mistakes in post #32, that garden centre has introduced another webpage error.

See if you can spot what's missing. Seed potatoes 2018

 

Apart from grammar (poor), there doesn’t appear to actually be any buying options?

Yes, after previously saying their seed potatoes would be available in December 2018, they've now forgotten to put any seed potatoes on their seed potatoes webpage

 

Dug some pink fir apples for lunch, didn't get around to earthling these up so lost most of them to frost and greening

 

I am growing some potatoes in containers this year. Can someone please confirm these chitting start dates.
First early Annan pilot - These need to be planted late March . So I start chitting by the middle of Feb ?
Maincrop Sarpo Mira - These need to be planted Mid April . So I start chitting by the middle of March ?
TIA

 

I'd chit them both from mid feb Harold, planting out will be more to do with when your last frost is rather than when they say to plant out

 

Seed spuds I've bought too early for immediate chitting are stored in my frost free shed in Poundland potato onion bags.
