Autumn planted potatoes

I,M not sure what you are asking Dave. Do you mean planting potatoes for digging in the Winter? If so yes. On the other hand beds where I have had potatoes the previous year drive me up the wall, as there are always some left that come up like weeds. The problem with planting in Autumn for the following year is that the frosts we normally get in April and even May (I have known one on June 6th here in North Staffordshire) will kill the new growth. It will re-grow but no earlier than planting normally I've never planted in the autumn. But the problem I have now are some taties I have forgotten from last year and now a few are growing amonst my peas and broad beans!!!!! There's nothing I can do than just cut off as deep as I can. I just can't dig. It's the first time that happened to me - I think I must have been blind when I digged out our crop! |
