The Home Guard!

Went and bought my first ever seed potatoes today, the choice was amazing and i proper enjoyed myself choosing  .

In the end i went of Home Guard first early variety.

Anybody grown these before? and any tips would be great?




Another probaly dumb question is there was also 'second earlys' 'main crop' . So my question is do you plant these at the same time but they ready later??


Potatoe growing all new to me but im proper finding it fun already    

Thanks Yorkie , i do intend on coming down to the shop, joining and saying hi to you   . Just very busy at work at mo  

They say its easier to grow the earlies (first and second) as a beginner because your less likely to get pests and diseases by the time they're read to be dug up.  However, I'm going to have a go at growing Maincrop this year, even though we get blight on our site.  Am I a muppet or what?!!! :roll:

If you can keep them blight free your on to a winner , Store in sack over
 the winter , I grew Golden Wonder last year , They store very well and
 get better with age.

I grew Golden Wonder last year as a trial.

Never again, slugs loved them.
