The only gardening-related activity last week was a visit to a local garden centre to buy our seed potatoes and onion sets.
As well as offering seed potatoes in the usual bags, there are also individual potatoes on sale which is ideal for those who wish just to plant one or two tubers in pots or, like us, want to try something different.
We bought five tubers each of Elland and Francis. Francis is an early variety and Elland is an early maincrop. We also bought bags of two varieties that are new to us, Skywalker - a second early and Kingsman - a maincrop. Three other varieties Orla - second early, Sagitta - maincrop and Ulster Prince - first Early are all varieties that we have successfully grown before. We will also replant some of the potatoes that we grew last year.
