More Arrivals


Thursday was another day of gale force winds, sunny spells and squally showers.

Following close on the heels of our seeds arriving from Kings Seeds on Tuesday some of our seed potatoes arrived from JBA Potatoes today. It’s the first time we've ordered from this particular supplier and I had wondered about the quality of the potatoes supplied.

They arrived very well packed and the quality of the seed potatoes supplied looks very good. I've now got to decide whether to store the potatoes in the garage for a few weeks where they will be more protected from any keen frosts or set them out in tray to chit in the greenhouse. I’m tending towards the garage for a couple of weeks at least.

Last year’s potatoes moved into the greenhouse at the end of January but in 2011 it was the end of February before they were set out to chit.

  1. They look good quality. I've ordered mine from the allotment association, and they said they'd be here at the beginning of February, so I'm expecting them any time now.
