Thank you for your reply, and we live in the UK so will need to start them of in our concervatory no greenhouse

I'd start the tubers off in pots of compost in a greenhouse, assuming you're somewhere that has a proper winter! Here in UK we plant them out in late May after all risk of frost has gone. They need to be about a foot apart and like lots of food, use tomato food once a week when they start to flower.
