    Thanks Michael, 

    i think Dobbiies have quite a selection, I will go for them and chose Charlotte second early. They are to go in some space I have in the greenhouse.

    I have tried christmas potatoes every year for the last 4. Every year they are in my mini green house,  and every year about early December the frost gets them...  I will not be doing it this year..
