Well I managed to get my early potatoes planted at last, they had
shoots that were 6 to 8 inches long and a fair root system already
established, some I planted just the shoot/root system without a
potato at the base, should be interesting to see which do best, as I
believe that in the US they just plant the shoots as with sweet
potatoes. Before any one says anything I know it's almost August.

Just in time for Xmas

Yes. Just the job. I have my Xmas spuds in as well.
And with this rain they are going to be up, and about soon.

The Dutch forecast is for a prolonged drought.

Well, Martin, we will have to water them here in England.
Lets hope the Dutch drought is short.
