Thanks for that. I can see your logic just worried potatoes won't get going! Have also grown peas in greenhouse which are ready tolant put. What do you think!
By the weekend this cold will be gone according to the foreacast -time to start hardening things off that will be planted outside
I've spuds been chitting since January, bought at a potato fair, surprisingly, they are a lot firmer than the one's bought from a local nursery and GC, but they are all ready to be planted out.
I'm in the NW and was going to start planting mine in bags next week unless the weather takes a steep dive for the worst.
I have planted my potatoes today .I planted in a large sturdy card board box .I put a mix of compost and leaf mold in the box put in chitted potatoes and covered with the rest of the mix about 3 inches deep and if it is to cold tonight ,I plan to fold over the flaps and cover with a fleece.I hope this works never done this before It does get down to about 3c at night here ,I was going to try growing in straw ,but with the wind we get it would be a mess.
