Potato varieties

For a couple of weeks we've had the seed potatoes chitting in the conservatory. We've bought them from Thompson & Morgan which will make them a bit more expensive but they do offer a big range and good descriptions in their catalogues and on-line.

First early = Lady Christl
Salad potato = Charlotte
Early maincrop = Picasso

I've nearly got all the green manure dug in now and the ground should be ready for the potatoes when the time comes. Judging by last year I had planted them all by the end of the 1st week of April and I'm expecting it to be very similar this year.
