Tessa the Duchess Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I bought mine yesterday, went for Red Duke of York, never heard of them before, they only had quite big bags so only bought one type 'cos I've only got 3 potato sacks to grow them in.

The Spencers Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 We set ours chitting last night (I bought most of them a couple of weeks ago) prompted by the arrival of the Hunters. ES woke up this morning asking if they were ready to plant yet!! We've got; Pentland Javelin Duke of York Maris Peer King Edwards Hunter We're planting in bags as well. We've got more potatoes than we've got space for in the bags and were wondering whether you thought we could get more than one crop out of each bag - particularly the first and second earlies. If so what's the best way to store the extra potatoes until needed? Cool, dark place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Got mine too Pentland Javelin Desiree & Maris Piper I got them loose, so have 4 of each, but they had sold out of salads, so I am putting in a request in the seed exchange above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
