Having asked for and taken on board the recommendations of several
urglers here, I finally settled on Estima, Kestrel and Charlotte.
I doubted if I would be able to get them all at the gc, but very
pleased to say I've managed to get them all:~).

All I want now is some reasonable weather so they don't get frosted.
Asking a lot, I know. I shall be chitting them first, as usual, which
well delay them getting into the garden. Probably just as well.

Desperately hoping I'm not too far ahead of myself:~/
How are other urglers proceeding, please?

It's a long time since I grew spuds.

These are what I've got on order: First Earlies Sharpes Express, Second
Earlies Anya, Maincrop Sarpo Axona. Nothing has arrived yet. (Two out of
three of those were chosen having been advised by an allotment neighbour
that blight is very much present.)
