In all of the seed catalogues they say to order seed potatoes early to make sure all the varieties are available, but when is "early"? January? December? Should I be ordering potatoes now?
Thanks for any help!

They want you to order early because they want your money there is no rush just yet..

Not ordered mine yet, did it in December last year and got what I wanted quite happily. I don't want to receive mine too early as it means I have to store them and, assuming you're ordering from a decent supplier then they can probably store them better than we can at home.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I ordered mine in mid December last year and had them delivered before Xmas. Far to early and lost a few as I did not have suitable storage. Lesson learned.History teaches us that history teaches us nothing. - HegelComment

One of the chaps on my course at college works at the local nursery/GC - so I'm going to ask him for a nudge when the pots are in and I'll grab my kestrels then. And get the rest at the potato day at Ryton. Any excuse for a cup of tea and a cake.

I begrudge paying postage costs so always buy mine locally in the Spring!
The other thing about doing it this way is that you put the emphasis on the supplier to store them and keep them in a reasonable condition prior to purchase!
