Grow Your Own / Re: Will seed potatoes rot?
« Last post by AnneB on Today at 22:51 »
I am with New Shoot.  My potatoes are continuing to chit in my back porch.  It is far too wet to plant them.  The allotment is like a swamp.  Up here in Yorkshire, I usually wait until mid April anyway.

Blowing a hoolie here as well with rain pelting against the windows. 

We did get sun first thing, but it was grey and wet by mid morning and has gone steadily downhill ever since.

My seed potatoes are in the shed and are staying there for now.  Nothing much has really got going yet and I still have daffodils and tulips blooming in the garden. 

Some years you just have to forget your normal sowing and planting calendar and wait for nature to catch up.  Even a raised bed would be a cold and wet soggy mess that wasn’t going to get potatoes excited about growing.

I wouldn't be planting any potatoes directly outside at the moment.
Wait until it dries out a bit and the soil temperature needs to be warmer than it currently is.

Torrential rain on the way to work.  Paul was supposed to deliver a piece of glass 4 foot by 3 foot but phoned up  the customer and said it was too dangerous for him to  carry it from the shed to the van in the wind.  They agreed and Paul will do it tomorrow when hopefully this wind will have died down.  Horrendous journey on the way home with cross winds along the coastal road.

Mavis's 'children', all three of them are thriving, thank you Auntie, and are soon going to have to leave 'the nursery' and join 'big school' and be seperated into their own pots.  I'll run out of pots this rate!
