I mentioned that when at Harlow Carr recently, I bought some bags, compost and some seed potatoes. I have them in the light awaiting sprouts. I have no sprouts. Must I wait till the sprouts grow before I can plant them, please? The RHS and Google are your friends http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile...tatoespots.asp Thanks Martin, but if I want to google for things myself, then there is not much point in belonging to a newsgroup This seems a less than courteous reply - or do I detect some history here? If Martin can take the trouble to look up fulsome advice from the professionals on how to grow potatoes for you and then point you in the direction of the detailed advice surely that is as acceptable to you as cutting and pasting the verbiage followed by a signature? A newsgroup doesn't only exist to re-write or paraphrase what already exists. Rather to help with advice - such a Martin has given. If I have caused offence, then I apologise unreservedly. It was certainly not meant in the way you seem to perceive it. Except that, if Martin really had any usefull information, it would have been better either to post it or email it. Absolutely no problem Ophelia ..... my perception of things is frequently out of sync :-)) But, Alan, I do not see how it would have been better to cut, paste and post or E-mail a couple of pages of info rather than give the key to its instant access. But then that's just my opinion .... and everyone is entitled to theirs, and to express it. Ho hum.....! -- Gopher .... I know my place! |
