Potatoes planted





Planted my Potatoes today (Saturday 8th April).

I was a little late going out to get them this year, so am limited to 3 varieties this year. 
I planted 3 rows of British Queens (2nd Early), 1 of Homeguard (1st Early) and 1 of Kerr Pinks (Main Crop).


I will use my usual calculations for a rough guide as to when to harvest them; that is, I will allow:

First Earlies - 80 days
2nd Earlies - 100 days
Main Crop - 110 days
