Was going to start a new thread with this question but thought it could probably tag on the end of this one!

Just a little potatoe question - and I'm probably being very stupid here but though they're called earlies etc, are they all chitted and planted at the same time, or do you plant earlies first and then move through the others?

Just been to our first potatoe day at Sonham Barns near where we live - nearly every single variety of potatoe, just buy the tubers at 10p a tuber - remembered to take a bag to put them in but forgot to take a pen to write on the paper bags what each variety was - managed to borrow one though, have just got to remember to keep them named so that we know which ones we like for next year - we bought about 12 different varieties but only brought 6 tubers of each - apart from the pink fir apples and the maris pipers which we knew we wanted a few more off.  Have to see which we prefer - can't wait until we can start harvesting them and try them all!  My 13 year old thinks we're sad because we're getting excited about potatoes!  Guess it's an age thing!
