Cinnamon Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I was going to ask the same thing myself Martin. I have scoured the local Garden Centres today & found none (nor any garlic for winter planting ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGirlsMum Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I read somewhere that you can use your own potatoes if you put them in the fridge for a couple of days so that they think they have gone through a frost. They said no need to chit just put them in the soil and keep your fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
