It's still six months to Christmas, plenty of time to grow a few
spuds.

I remember dear old Percy Thrower saying that when he first started as
a junior gardener at a large estate, the procedure was, when
harvesting new potatoes, to leave a few on the surface to go green and
then replant them to provide the small new ones for Christmas Day. If
it was good enough for Percy....
