I have just purchased my first greenhouse and built a large veg plot and wondered if anyone could give me advise on growing potatoes in a raised bed (3m x 2m)
I prefer new potato varieties but cant seem to find much information on when I can plant them etc. Its now May - its this to late ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

Some basic information here http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/techniques/growfruitandveg_potatoes1.shtml

If you can get hold of them you can plant some now - it is a bit late - but you may lose them to blight which usually strikes later in the summer.
I certainly grow early varieties which mature before blight knocks them back.
