Of the four links I posted it appears only Suttons and Dobies have any seed
potatos of the sort you require.

Not much help to the OP unless he lives here but Tucker's, our local seed
merchant and country store, are selling seed potatoes advertised as being
for Christmas. They're about £2.50 for 2kg and the varieties are Charlotte
and Maris Peer.

Erm .. you weren't 'simply asking about Xmas potatoes', were you? You
were also advertising your petition.

It was one line. Unlike a persistent troll here who seems not to attract
your ire.

Confusing that link, actually they are not selling them this year. When
I could not find them on their web site I fired off an email, got a
prompt reply saying, sorry non for sale this year. :-(

Hi Mike
I used Bob Flower Dew's advice last year and had some lovely pots for Xmas. He suggests you take some early's, put them in the fridge for a fortnight - then plant. You'll need to protect them from frost - they were small but delicious.

Incidently Bob's book - the Gourtmet Gardener is fantastic - would make a great Xmas present!

All the best

QUOTE=Mikesndbs;727510]HI

I am looking for advice on this?
I have heard you can plant late and lift a crop of small spuds for
Xmas day, sounds nice and I would like to try.

What would be involved please?

Thanks

Mike
