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?


Not tried it before, but I've just noticed I've got a huge potato
plant growing in a bucket in my kitchen atm! I think it may get
properly planted then put in the greenhouse and see if we get any
earlies!


Oow. Let us know then please how you get on with it. There is nothing
better than a home grown new spud. I love them.
