  • Help growing rooster potatoes please

    Hi everyone,
    I've just bought 5 rooster seed potatoes from Wilkinsons and there aren't many ionstructions on the packet about how to grow them or when etc.

    i was hoping i could get some help from the vine.

    i hope to hear from you soon

    thanks

    Same as with any other spud, really.
    There are many different methods and timings (have a go with your Search button for 100s of discussions)

    this is mine:
    dig a hole, pop spud in (about end of March, depending on weather)
    plant about a foot apart
    earth up or mulch with grass clippings as the foliage grows
    Water if we get a drought
    Dig them up in autumn
