I see potatoes are everywhere in the garden centres and I have received from Marshalls seed that I didn't order
BUT
Still none that I ordered in September from T&M.  In this part of the world I want them in the ground in a fortnights time and that leaves little time for chitting. When I telephoned I got the excuse that the rain has made it difficult to get them out of the ground yet.
I never realised that this years seed was left in the ground until now, I thought it was harvested & stored in suitable conditions over winter.  Or was that an excuse dreamed up on the spur of the moment.

Sounds like it to me

Mine came last week from T+M.
So I think it was an excuse

[Tom Hill]

When did you order yours ?

I ordered Lady C, Sarpo Mira and Carra on 17 dec.

I too am waiting for potato seed from T&M. I don't think they actually produce the seed. I recently had a delivery direct from Guernsey of Raspberries.
I always keep a few seed of my own (from certified seed) just in case. Lady Christl are well chitted, and I have planted them in medium pots and the shoots are just emerging. Did this last year and had a presentable early crop.
