Potatoes

You can plant 'new spuds' in big tubs for harvesting around christmas time. Give them a bit of protection when the cold comes later i the year, e.g cool greenhouse or some where else thats un heated.
Getting a little bit late now for christmas spuds, but can still be done.

I've just put in some more chitted spuds on the off-chance. It's worth a try.

Thank you both, I'll give it a try...nothing ventured :-))
