How long can i delay planting Carlingford seed potatoes,so they will be ready Christmas time.I bought them last Saturday,being earlies they will only take about 12 weeks,which means if i planted them now they would be ready early Oct.Will they stand in trays for at least 6 weeks?

Thank you MUM,still not certain if i can leave them in trays for several weeks before planting outside.

Well one of the people in that thread was lifting potatoes at the end of June (about now) to use as seed and plant them mid August for use at Christmas.
I think, therefore, that your seed potatoes could also wait until then before being planted

Sorry, I can't give an answer to your question, but just like to ask you where you bought your seed potatoes. I've been looking everywhere online but all suppliers seem to have sold out.
