  Hello there all. Im new to this game and have been reading a bit on potatoes. The question is, with these first earlies, second earlies and maincrop do they get planted all at the same time or at different intervals through the months?

Probably the obvious answer is the right one!! But dont know unless i ask!!!

We normally plant all of ours at the same time as they all mature at different times.
If you want a wider spread plant them at different intervals.

Thought so!! So the early second early and main crop all refer to the length of time they take to grow as opposed to planting them first second etc.!

You have hit the nail on the head there.
Do a search for planting potatoes and I am sure you will find loads of info.
Real early potatoes are Swift and Rocket. Really late ones are Pink Fir Apple and Golden Wonder.
