Its my first post Be gentle

 

Sorry can't help with this, though I am sure someone can. But be assured, we are always gentle.

Hi Birdy,
Just plant like normal spuds, try to keep them from frost later in the year. It's getting a little late in the season, so you'll need to be quick.
Cheers

Hi Rob
I aready have one growing and it wont stop growing I think it will be ready before Christmas I am going to plant another one today.

 

I was intrigued by this - never heard of Christmas Potato. Are they ready as they suggest at Christmas? Where can you get them from and do you plant them in pots, bags or in the garden? Our Potatoes never came to anything so would be interested in getting some of these.

Thanks
Oli

 

Hi Oli
I am no expert but all I do is put a potato that is shooting in a pot(quite large) and keep topping it up as the shoots appear, and when it gets to the top of the pot leave it to grow as normal. The main thing is to cover it when frost is in the air, and hey presto on Christmas day turn it out of the pot and new pots for Christmas dinner.
GO FOR IT. ASAP
