I don&#39;t rub off any shoots as I don&#39;t mind smaller spuds.Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-10039128802484123942010-02-08T13:00:40.793Z2010-02-08T13:00:40.793ZWe are in the same boat, i have the order fornm all filled in and ready to go but for some reason I just never get around to posting it! We don&#39;t know what we like or what to grow (Farm Guy&#39;s dad is a farmer of potatoes so all we knew was we didn&#39;t want the same as he grows!) so we have got a few of each for different harvest times!<br />Also some, rasps and blueberies on the way too.. somewhere...Rosiehttp://www.realisingthedream.blgospot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-30685341807947726232010-02-08T04:20:04.706Z2010-02-08T04:20:04.706ZI don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever planted potatoes before. Actually I only really ever helped my dad or my grandparents. My dad knows all about this stuff, but I don&#39;t, so I&#39;m glad to learn it from what you write.Rattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-68875908487088152082010-02-08T01:06:47.094Z2010-02-08T01:06:47.094ZNow don&#39;t I feel like the lazy one for just going to the store and buying a bag of potatoes...lol I&#39;ve never heard of the types you mentioned though. Here it&#39;s either plain old white potatoes, russets, red or yukon gold. There may be more but those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-42743582203363675252010-02-08T00:23:37.301Z2010-02-08T00:23:37.301ZHi Tany. Agree with you about mollycoddling your spuds, but I think you should grow more. It&#39;s only dawned on me recently but chitting is to stabilise the shoots by exposing them to light, not encouraging them. If you like King Edwards try the red skinned Rooster. I was v pleased with the results last year (disease free, good texture, high yield. (They were a pound more a net at the garden centre so there must be something in it?)Mal's Allotmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12349857165496487250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-78333199917240784322010-02-07T23:21:56.481Z2010-02-07T23:21:56.481ZWell done you on getting started, I&#39;m being rather slow to get started this year but I looked outside today and there were actual clumps of snowdrops to be found, so I&#39;ll soon being getting my get up and gardening go soon :)Kellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007237364629419063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-58590457707532356052010-02-07T19:49:36.317Z2010-02-07T19:49:36.317ZTHat reminds me, I must get mine.
