Title: Can I plant different varieties of second earlies together?
Post by: Kagganz on January 14, 2009, 18:37: ........notice how I didn't mention the 'potato' word.....

:shock: oops I just did!

Did I mention my small garden and containers?.....oh did I? :roll:

Any road up, I'm planning how many containers I will need for the different varieties of spuds I have bought...... I'm up to 304 at the mo' .... :D

(please don't ask how many spuds I've got altogether )

Soooo......could I plant different varieties together, if I needed too? :?
