Well, they need about 4 months in the ground, and you need to miss the blight.
Work backwards from your blight period (if known). Blight usually hits us early August, which means spuds need to be (*counts 4 months back from August ...) planted beginning of April.
Earlies mature quicker of course (because they aren't mature, they're picked young)

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
