      Earlies ready to plant (but not sure whether it's safe yet). Maincrop, still deciding which to buy. We won't have room for more than about 8 maincrop seed (got 4 earlies, 2 each Pentland Javelin and Foremost), so we need to get the best. Thinking maybe King Eds for flavour, or maybe the blight-resistant ones, or......

        I wouldn't bother planting in the soil yet anyway. I have 3 in a big tub but they are not only in the greenhouse, they have double bouble wrap over them! End of March is fine for earlies (round here) and mid April for mains. You southern softies can adjust for balmy weather conditions! They say you shouldn't plant them till you can sit on the soil comfortably with your bare bum. That'd be half past July here!

          Nope. No spuds here, either. Was only thinking about that this morning. I mean, it is March now, so I really should get my arris into gear!

            Don't leave it too long, I looked at the Tattiemans site yesterday and found they are already sold out of quite a few varieties. I wanted a few more now I have the lottie but ended up buying from the GC, Rocket, if anyone is interested

              This is the one I thing I can feel remotely smug about. I took advantage of an offer and ordered them early, so half are now chitting. Just need to drill holes all the morrisson buckets they are to go into.

                We planted out Rocket the second week of March last year........down about 4" then piled 2" of compost on top ......
                This year I have Rocket, Nadine, Charlotte, King Eds and a couple of Pink Fir apple. All chitting away nicely
