PLANTING POTATOES

NATHAN · « **on:** April 02, 2007, 19:25 »

I have just finished preparing my new allotment for planting and i wonder if anyone can tell me if i can plant my potatoes now. They have been chitting for some time now and i am a bit worried they will shrivel up an die if i dont get them in the ground soon. I live in Northamptonshire if that helps. Also i have early, second earl and main crop potaotes - can i plant them all at the same time??

Thanks in advance for any help :?

I've been planting my spuds today Nathan, and I know some of our members have got theirs in already, but you are in a similar area to me, and our ground is pretty good at the moment. I used to leave a couple of weeks inbetween each type of spud, but I know some peeps on here plant them all at the same time as the maincrop take longer to grow anyway!

Yes, you can put them both in now.

manure the hole then put them in.
