Christmas spuds

Going to grow some this year.
So for taste only, What shall i grow ?   

I haven't done this but I did read up on it.
Use earlies because they mature quicker.
Normally it is frost that is the main issue but you are growing at the end of the season, so light is going to be  the problem.  That means when the clocks go back at the end of October, there will be very little growth.
Select your seed. Give then a week or two to harden off, then plant. They will need 10 to 12 weeks.
I think this is another marketing ploy. If potatoes where meant to be grown for Christmas I am sure the farmers would have worked something out.

apparently Egypt grow a lot of spuds destined for UK market. they also order peat from here so it can be used in packaging spuds back here via cargo. i was surprised to see the scale of the growing    the only issue was watering and they've sorted that out. they have plenty of sun and sandy soil.
