Grow Your Own / Re: Potato Failure..
« Last post by AndyRVTR on Today at 07:49 »I've always put them in in or very close to 'Good Friday', only because my brother and Dad did. They used to tell me that it was because 'Good Friday' was a day they could remember easily rather than a 'date'!
The only reason I used supermarket potatoes this year is because my local Wilkos closed down and local garden centres were charging an arm and a leg for minimum 2kg bags.
That and the fact I'm growing in raised beds in my own garden, so no chance of contamination anywhere else and as space is limited, I only needed a few potatoes as seed, so cost was also a main factor!
