If you stick to recommended spacings, you won't do it. You may just about get the Cara and Picasso in.

How are you differentiating between "main" and "lates"?

How are you dif

IDK, mains = 1st main, lates  = 2nd mains?

I might have to only plant maybe 40 of each, and shove the rest in Bags in the back yard

is 60 of each a bit OTT?

[DD.]

For the space you've got, yes.

Your area is actually just about the right size for your mians/lates only.

I'm planting about 300, but I do have 800 sq yards to play with.

[Tattyanne456]

WE're going for Ulster Chieftan, first earlies, King Edwards for roasting, Blue Danube, as they are only 99p from T&M, and Rooster cos we grew them last year and had some very good results.

Blue Danube, as they are only 99p from T&M,

You sure you've not misread it?

This says £9.99

Unchitted cheaper, but still £3.49

, but I do have 800 sq yards to play with.

I am very very jealous.
Is this space your allotment or your back garden?
My friend has a back garden a lot bigger than many allotments but does absolutely nothing with it. What a waste.

[DD.]

2 & 1/2 plots.

Why not offer to do your friend's back garden?

[peapod]

Ive just ordered King Edwards as usual, but Im trying Golden Wonder this year too

[Beetroot queen]

We are trying pentland Javelin, Charlotte, and Maris Piper
