« on: February 15, 2008, 21:04 »
I have been reading the 'Month by Month' guide and have noticed the first early spuds appear in June.

I need some guidance with this!

What shouold i be planning to do now? I want to get a crop i can dig in to all year round is this possible?

Yes. There might be plenty others but I know these two can be trusted. Orla and charlotte will mature nicely for early pots, but you gotta consider space, etc.

What I mean with the space is digging in all year round loses you space you want to get them up, maybe to plant some summer crop in place or over wintering one.

It all depends on what you like to eat and how much space you got really, you gotta work it out around that. :)

Try Rocket...in Wilkos now or Foremost.........these 2 are really early

Pick the rocket as small salad tatys or leave in for giant whites...I left two rows of mine in for 16 weeks last year and just finished eating them from store :D
