I'm doing about 310 seed spuds this year - about the same as last. It's surprising how many you get through with a bit of help!

Got about a sack and a half left and they've stored really well this time about.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

There were only 8 sacks of spuds in there.

But they're just the ones that made it for winter storage!

What!

We only have a quarter of that lot DD!

Nice work though - we've just plonked in our earlies - Sharpes Express and Charlotte.  The rows are well gunged with last years manure, and we are expecting a miracle, like we always do..!
