You should be saying that with a smug face.

My only casualties were 2 or 3 volunteer potatoes from last year, that are left purposefully as an early barometer of soil temperature and depth of frost, before I get rid of them.
Fleece is my friend.

Lost a lot of my earlies & mains potatoes even though they were covered in tarp...

Perhaps I should have earthed them over fully with the frost warning. Thought the tarp would do it...

Q: Where can I get replacement Potatoes at this late a stage ?

[mumofstig]

Usually, only the tops are frosted and they regrow, so I doubt you will need new seed.

Cheers Lesley, Yeah thats what the old' boy said on my allotment, fingers crossed.

That's twice now some of them have got frosted...

The tender new leaves on my 2 vines got caught by the frost the other night.  Should I cut back or just leave them to their own devices?
