The weather changed for Saturday as we swapped the bright sunny crisp weather of the last few days for cloudy, milder weather.
Our new seed potatoes arrived from Alan Romans and after a quick inspection to check their condition they have been placed next to our stored potatoes from last year in the garage. As soon as I dare risk it I'll place them in the greenhouse to chit but they might have to wait until March before coming out of the garage.

As these seed potatoes went into the garage I took out a bucket full of our stored potatoes Red Duke of York to use in the kitchen. These seem to have stored very well over the winter. Some of these tubers are starting to sprout no doubt a result of the milder January weather. It reminds me that I will need to keep an eye on the seed potatoes to make sure they don't get the chance to produce any long spindly shoots being stored in the dark.
