Ours were done 2 weeks ago - they are early early's. In egg box on window sill - should be able to plant next week. We then start the earlys off chitting.

Last year had really good early crop and rubbish main and late crop - hope to do better this year.

Mine have been on the window sill for a couple of weeks now. I actually didn't plant mine until the middle of April last year because the sprouts weren't big enough before.

We dug up a few potatoes in June but they were tiny so we left them until the children broke up from school in the summer and we havested them so they all took some home with them. They were a little bigger than new pots but not as big as bakers. They were tasty though.

I have bought some King Edwards to do this year as well as the potato council ones.
