Default Seed Potatoes: 2 questions

But will they just send 8 of each variety?

I have a lot of trouble trying to find places where they sell seed
potatoes
individually, the packs have far too many seeds for me.



Many garden centres etc. will sell a 'bag' of potatoes at this time of
year. So we go armed with plastic bags and sticky labels. |Put 3 of one
variety in a plastic bag, name it and put in paper bag supplied by GC.
then take three or four of something else and do likewise. We can end up
with about 4 varieties of potatoes all in plastic bags but in the original
paper bag . They never seem to mind!


I have done that in the past, but the nearest place that does that is about
10 miles away!
