Maxine you need to get your potatoes planted this month as soon as possible.[ -
Hi Maxine
I'd start putting them in now, both your earlies and your maincrops. Are you growing them in containers or straight into the ground. Not sure if you've chitted them or not, but there are schools of thought that say you should, and others that say it makes no difference to the crop, so regardless, start planting.Rat

Hi Maxine,
I had a trapped nerve last year & so couldn't do anything till about end of may. I only grew Maincrop spuds but they were OK, mind you we had a good summer so I think that helped.
I trust your growing your namesake
If not next year maybe!ntg

Tatties
Hello! Another newbie to the world of growing veg, I'm afraid. We rent our house so I'm only able to grow in pots. I've got some Maris Peer in a 1/2 barrel and have just been given some Nicola, Charlotte and more Maris Peer. I've got some old buckets and was thinking about using those. What's the latest date I can start planting? None of the seed tatties I've been given have chitted, is it really necessary?Comment

Don't worry about chitting them. Time is ticking by now and you really need to get your potatoes in as soon as possible this month.[Comment
