Have only just cleared my plot of potatoes for this year and still have Charlottes in bags to harvest.
Last year , or should it be this year
, I planted Desiree - 4 bags , Charlottes 3 bags and 1 bag Red Duke of York all bought from our usual Garden Centre at £3.99 per bag the week before Christmas . I usually get them after the festive season but the reports of possible shortages I thought it better to act early.
The Charlottes have done reasonably well probably resulting from a regular watering and home made compost!
The Desiree have been variable with some plants yielding better than others , the well documented fluctuations in our weather having an impact.
I plan to sow the same next year maybe omitting Red Duke of York.
