Chitting time!!

Yes, it is that time of year again.

The egg cartons have been saved over the last few weeks and the seed potatoes have been selected and purchased.




This year we have decided to try out Red Duke of York for our First Early crop. The guy at the local garden centre maintains they are worth a try.

For our Main Crop we are going with Sarpo Mira again. We had a successful crop with it last year and it is blight resistant (and didn't drown in all the rain).


Egg cartons make the nicest beds for little seed potatoes to chit, eyes up!!


All the nice wee spuds in a row; our bedroom window sill full of chitting potatoes!


And our seeds arrived in the post from the lovely people at www.giyireland.com .

Hopefully next blogpost might be about sowing some seeds (must go get some potting compost).
