Thanks Russ,was counting on you for this one! Guess I'll plant at the beginning of March as I've had black plastic covering the plot all winter,and hope for the best.
I bought a tray of 100 seed potatos from Point Vert,4 different varieties..... Ratte,Rosabelle,Charlotte and Samba for less than 10 euros,never grown any of these varieties before. Will report back when I've lifted them. Thanks again........... Ree
