There’s still time to get your seed potatoes in

Despite Good Friday being traditionally the last day for getting your seed spuds in, it is still Ok to plant them throughout April.

Why grow your own spuds?

• It’s very rewarding digging up your own fresh potatoes and eating them.
• Fresh potatoes are tastier than shop bought ones.
• If you grow your own you can select unusual varieties to try and we even sell individual seed potatoes so it’s easier than ever to try a few different types.
• If you’re short on space they are easy to grow in containers and as above we can provide you with a couple of seed potatoes to use so you don’t have to buy a large quantity.

Where to plant them?

• Veg beds, a veg patch and containers on a patio are all good places for potatoes to flourish.
• You can grow them in upended growbags with drainage holes made in the bottom too.
• They like a sunny spot too.
