Potatoes

Morning all,
this probably sounds stupid,but about a month ago I had bought some organic spuds to eat and some of them started to sprout so I cut some, stuck them in the fridge and then planted them out in our new allotment.
Am I being too optimistic or is there a small chance I might get some spuds for Christmas.
Any advice would be great thankyou.

Hi Riala, yeah I actually planted them in middle of sept,so I guess I might not be so lucky.

Keep the plants protected from frost though. You may get some new potato-sized ones in tie for Christmas..

If they haven't come up in the 4 weeks they've been in the ground, they may not do.

At least until next year!

go for it , youve nothing to lose , hope you get enough to go along side those smelly sprouts lol . over cooked turkey, and really black roasts,

only kidding , try it , it might just work , good luck

Soooo excited went up to allotment this morning and my spuds are up and looking great.
I have put fleece poly tunnel over them so fingers crossed.
Oh and some of my garlic have appeared and onions,I could hardly contain my joy, had to share.

sid.

Thats so right Lesley, we have grown veg before,but not on this scale ie allotment .
And now have space to grow so many different varieties of fruit and veg also more of them.
