hi all again, i got some seed potatoes the other day with long shoots coming i am going to plant mine about easter time, hopfully the frosts might have eased by then. fingers crossed.
Hi all. I planted a few sacks of spuds in the greenhouse a few months ago. I did the same last year and had lots of spuds early, so I'm hoping for the same this year.
It really does depend on where you live and when you are likely to get late frosts. Early potatoes are bred to grow and crop much more quickly than main crop or late potatoes.
Frost will kill off the tops which affects the final crop.
Mine are chitting on the bathroom window sill, North facing, I will be planting all of mine in bags and pots in late March, early April. but Cornwall does not gave many late frosts.
