Potato bags

I am thinking of buying my bil a potato bag but due to circumstances he won't actually receive the gift until late July. Is this way too late to start?

I planted potatoes in August last year. Hoping they'd be for christmas. They were ready too early for that - but were fine.

Paisley which potatoes did you plant?

littleomar · 06/06/2010 14:12

and whereabouts are you (i stand corrected and am impressed)

I can't remember the ones. They did say they were for christmas though - late maincrop? (were on Thompson Morgan website - one of these
I know now though that you can plant any potatoes anytime (you don't need to worry about earlies/maincrop etc too much). Will grow from supermarket leftovers/peelings etc Just put them in and they'll grow.

Sorry littleomar, south east by the coast.
But they are selling those potatoes nationally, so it's well worth a go.

I think I used the vivaldi ones.

thanks Paisley, am in Kent so guess mine will be ok. I have planted a couple of bags a few weeks ago, nice to know I will be able to keep planting so I can have an almost constant crop
