Very small seed Potatoes from supplier

I purchased seed potatoes from a well known on-line supplier, and when I unpacked them most are smaller than a golf ball.

I have put them in egg boxes to chit them, but having compared mine to those at a local garden centre, I am concerned that I my not get a very good crop. Is size a problem with seed potatoes?

Many thanks

 

Like John syas-this is one place where size doesn`t matter

 

Thanks Folks. Actually, these are both earlies and maincrop (Edwards).

 

Yes, small can be good, but if you want to increase your seed then larger ones can be cut in half a couple of weeks before planting time as long as there are 2-3 growths on each half.

 

Took delivery of my seed pots today, was surprised by their smaller than usual size. i.e. 3Kg of Rocket equated to 66 tubers .

All are of uniform size though. All laid out now to start chitting.

 

Hi JWK,

I know that. My point is that last year for the same weight I got 45 tubers, and the size on the pack was the same i.e. 35mm to 60mm.

I'm not complaining, just an observation !

 

Last year my King Edward seed were very small, and the crop was also very small (taters not quantity). This may have been the rotten summer or the ground not right.(recovered last year from under concrete but well dug & mucked). Trying Desiree this year, the seed is twice the size so I'll see what happens.
