Hi Nash, with the mild weather the spuds will want to sprout. If it cools down to about 4 degrees celcius then that would keep them dormant. The fact yours have started though will mean you will just have to eat them faster :D

Hi Nash. Luckily my Maris Peer aren't chitting, but I will keep a look out. However, I have been considering Edzell Blue for next year - what do you think of them?
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Thanks for replies, frost is needed then, could I plant a few to see what happens ?

Hi Plum, the variety were a heavy cropper and tasty as a boiler, they had beautiful fluro purple colour after scraping which went during the cooking stage, only negative part would be the shape with lots of crannies they took a bit of time to peel !
