  • Planting out seed potatoes

    I have just received some seed potatoes to plant out for a christmas harvest. The ground is so wet on my lotty, is it best to wait for it to dry out a bit. The instructions state to plant out as soon as possible, as they are raring to grow!!

    have you thought of growing them in pots or potato bags?

    There are loads of threads about this method somewhere.

    I;ve got Charlottes in a potato bag with the leftover seed potato growing conventially next to it. Soil grown one is less than half the size. Haven't found out about teh yield yet though1

      Yes, it's ok to wait. They will start to sprout in the mean-time. I would wait until it dries out a bit, as a lost all my seed potatoes last year to fungus, which really likes the warm and damp conditions on summer soil. Just my 2 cents. But who likes working in the rain?
