How early is early for potatoes?  They are chitting nicely in the greenhouse.  Got some bigger ones for the allotment and salads for tubs, should they go in at the same time??? :roll:

Call me a traditionalist - but it's always Good Friday for me (as its unlucky to do the washing that day)

I put mine in this morning, but I'm a bit worried about the impending storm if it arrives, that and the pesky foxes digging them up, we always have to replant them at least once til they get bored.
