Yes you can Jason. They may be maincrop though so don't expect early new potatoes. -
Cool. I'll be doing that later, maybe.
How long do they take as main crop?Comment

You can indeed Jason.
Just check around there are plenty of threads, and theres not really a real need to chit them except to get them a little earlier so knock yourself out.Comment

Main crop dependent on variety around 22 weeks.

Main crop spuds are relatively in-expensive in the shops. If you are only going to grow a few, grow some earlies and cut your grocery bills.Comment

I have 2 bags of earlies on the go. Trouble is, i can't remember when i put them in. Had to chuck calander away because it got damaged. Think it's been 4 weeks.Originally posted by Aberdeenplotter View Post
I picked out 6 chitted potatoes from the bag of potatoes my wife bought from iceland and have now planted them
