Although potatoes can survive in the soil over winter (as many people find out to their dismay when "volunteers" start sprouting up in the middle of their lettuce bed!) they will be destroyed if they become frozen solid.

That may be what's happened to yours - get your hand in the compost (if you can) and have a furtle around - if they're still intact there's still a good chance they will be OK.

I stuck a thermometer in the ground today just to see what's going on, and it was 6C after todays sunshine

I'll see what's what at the weekend, some may go in then if it continues a tad milder, as it has been today

With this slight shift of seasons we'll be digging spuds in December.... you mark my words!!

I put some first earlies in my unheated polytunnel on January 20th. They also have fleece over them. No sign of them yet. Do you think they will have survived or not?

I'd have a rootle and see what's happened to them. I planted first earlies in my tunnel (polypots on top of beds) on Feb 24 under fleece and those are now up.

I will need the snow to disappear first at least before contemplating planting.  I was worried I would be behind as a result of going away on holiday in March.   Now I am worried that I will have to delay longer before sowing and planting anything! 

Potatoes still chatting, the chits are rather longer than I would like to be honest.

The chits on my spuds  are getting quite 'sturdy' now & need to go into the ground.

Have you got anywhere cooler, but still in the light, that should hold them back a bit til you can plant them
