Default New potatoes


"Baz" wrote in message
...
Someone mentioned in a thread earlier last month (Feb) about planting a
few
spuds under a polytunnel early.
I am wondering if I plant some now, in the NE, under a tunnel would it
really make any difference? Could I expect some new potatoes a bit earlier
than normal if left under the tunnel?

Any thoughts?

Baz it was me. We had two polly tunnels at our last house. Plenty of room,
large garden. It became tradition for us to plant potatoes in the polly
tunnel on Boxing Day and were always early in harvesting, BUT, we are on the
South East part of the Isle of Wight.

(Said South once and the police picked me up, so South East ;[))
