Debbie commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"I forgot to say.....FURTLE FIRST. Never lift spuds without having a good furtle to see whether they are ready or not."
Debbie commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"Far too early for Charlotte's but I guess you know that now. I've never had a problem with mine and I order them from T&M. If I see a small bag at any DIY or gardening store I cannot walk past without buying especially if they are on…"

Flighty commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"Paul JBA Seed Potatoes is probably the best website for all things potato."
Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"OK thats a big help Colin - thank you
I'll know for next year and I'll definately leave the swift for another 6 weeks or so"
Colin Robinson commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"Paul,
Charlotte are a second early and would never be ready in 10 weeks. That applies only to the earliest of first earlies like Rocket and Swift and even then you wouldn't expect a great harvest.
Maris Piper are a maincrop and would be…"
Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Loving the weather ;)"hah well that sounds like an ideal way to spend to a hot hot day and I hope you had a great time ;)"
Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"sorry 2 questions..
I guess it's too late to start some more and also...if I want to start some maris pipers for christmas...when should I aim to plant - roughly?

Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"Thnx Colin
Well you've answered my issue then as they were in about 12 weeks... I read loads of sites today that said 10 weeks so I guess they are way off and is why I lifted them.
As for the mushy ones - thats handy to know thanks.
So I guess…"
carol taylor commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Loving the weather ;)"Toooo hot to work in so i give up and drink tea and chat with friends."
Colin Robinson commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Charlotte's are a fail"How long were they in? I'd give Charlottes at least 14 weeks before lifting them and preferably 16-18 weeks.
How many were in the bag?
The rotten mushy ones would be the original seed potatoes...that's what happens tp them when their…"
Paul Hearne replied to Colin Robinson's discussion the weather's never right"Couldn't agree more. 2 nights ago it took me 45 minutes and I have probably a quarter of what you have and I suspect an area to manage that 5 times as big as mine.
I know we shouldn't complain but hey we are brits and that's what…"

Paul Hearne replied to elaine rickett's discussion Feeding Spuds"I did use a pellet feed with mine so hopefully they will come out ok.
I only have 3 bags (first attempt so keeping it small) unlike that Colin up there and for which I have to agree, he is insane. 70 OMG!"

Yes I planted early and as some will know this is my first attempt so no surprises what happened.

I have a day off work today and was a beauty it is. I sat in the garden and updated my site with some new pics and as usual some nooby questions as there are a few things I'm unsure of.

So how is everyone else enjoying this gorgeous weather?
Back to work tomorrow - boooooooo!

I've finally cut the first crop of leaves so what to do with them?
Here's my idea but maybe a bit plain so anyone else got a great suggestion.
