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 ?

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

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?
