Well just planted two 1st earlies in polypots under a small polytunnel.

Not too early at all.

I popped some in pots over a week ago in the unheated greenhouse up here.

About 3 weeks I might think about planting outside.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

 :D I was only thinking the same thing - but I'd like it to be a shade warmer than it is now

I'd like to try some early ones to, I have space in a lean-to gown house (unheated). (I have too many for my designated ground potato growing area anyhow)

What size pots are you using and how many to a pot?

Hannah :)
