Where to buy seed potatoes.
Hi all,
We are just North of Brisbane and would like to grow some potatoes. Does anyone know of a supplier of seed potatoes or are we stuck with the varieties in the local shops? Can varieties such as King Edwards, Jersey Royals etc grow in this climate and if so where would we get seed potatoes. Mike |

Where to buy seed potatoes.
g'day mike,
you can buy regular varieties like 'sebago' and 'pontiacs' right now from you local produce agency there is an agency at redcliffe ther will be others in the caboolture area or in most areas, especially where there are people with nag's. as for those specific varieties you may have to shop around go to local yuppie type markets like along the dayboro road near petrie can't think of the place right now but it is in the grounds of the local pub easy to find. also research if those types will grow well here or what you may need to do special. but from me you need to be getting your tubers in the ground about now.

Mike,
You could try the Diggers Club www.diggers.com.au they have a good range, but generally only ship them in spring. Probably any on-line plant supplier will also have some available. I tend to buy new seed potatoes every 2 or 3 years and use more own the rest of the time.
