I was hoping to plant some second crop potatoes.

Now pay day has come and i try to order some, there are none.

Am I too late, if not any links to sellers or directions to some one in Wolverhampton would brilliant.

Many thanks

Are you hoping to grow some new potatoes for Christmas ?

This article says to try marshalls

thanks

I do want for winter / Christmas time.

Marshalls are all sold out  :cry:

I think you'll have to google for potato merchants/supplies and give them a ring

Poundshops still have them round our way

Funnily enough I've heard people ask that. The assistants are normally fairly tolerant.

That's pretty much the going rate though Poacher.

Well worth putting a few new spuds aside, I'd say.

thanks for the help folks.

If i understand correctly then could i chit some current new potatoes and plant them ? Does it matter if home grown (have none) or market bought (have lots).

Then plant and harvest later in the year, I have bare soil, well crop free soil and want to get something planted.

Thanks

They are expensive, yes, and I personally would save some good potatoes frm my own crop and use them.  I just wonder how old these late-season spuds are and whether they are just leftovers from the main season.

Faceit, if the ground isn't doing anything else what's the harm and just sticking some in and seeing what comes of it?
