If you have not bought your seed potatoes yet..

If anybody's going to check with Wilko CS which stores sell loose seed spuds, these barcodes might assist

£1.50 bag 04123903

£2.50 bag 04123934

Oh dear, I've just put my reading glasses on after buying all my seed spuds from Wilkos wearing my driving glasses!!

Look at the required 'fill level' and what I filled them to ...






P.S. Wilkos checkout staff don't appear to possess any reading glasses either!!

 

Nice one Scrungee...

Bought my 'last' seed spuds today, now have:

1st EARLY

Swift x 8 (to be planted in bags started in tunnels for earliest spuds)

2nd EARLY

Estima x 9 (our favourite jacket spuds)

Charlotte x 31 (for 'salad' spuds, 3 per large potato bag)

Kestrel x 28 (my favourite all round potato)

MAINCROP

Blue Belle x 10 (for village show)

Sarpo Mira x 6 (not a favourite for flavour, but should blight hit at least I'll get a few spuds)

King Edward x 2 (to see how many pounds I can grow in a 10" pot)

Kondor x 26 (for heaviest potato, think this variety might now be sold out nationwide, so glad I got mine early)

Picasso x 18 (to see how big they will grow)

TOTAL = 138 seed spuds, 9 varieties.



And that's my lot for this year, although I might be tempted if I see a bag of PFAs reduced to £1, like I bought last year.

Excluding the Kondors (which I could only get couriered from Yorkshire), the other 112 cost me £11.07. 10p Each seems good for carefully selected individually scrutinised tubers, and bearing in mind that when selecting baking varieties I went for large tubers.
