First early potato's
The message
from "shazzbat" contains these words: "Janet Baraclough .." wrote in message ... The message cL_%b.669$sh4.554@newsfe1-win from "Dan Keeley" contains these words: Hi, I've got some well chitted first earlies, wanted to plant this weekend, but is it wise with the frozen ground? should I wait? or wont it matter? Don't plant in frost. The old saying is, plant potatoes when the earth is warm enough to sit on without your trousers. Yes, but you'd need your thermals right now, no? Duh..so don't plant your potatoes yet :-) Janet |

Plant them (traditionally) on Good Friday - depending on where in the
country you are. -- Ok thanks I will hold off for a short while however good friday seens late - maincrop maybe, but not earlies - surely thats the point of them!? I'm also down south which gives me a couple of weeks leeway too. |

Sorry. Wrong. Plant them (traditionally) on Good Friday - depending on where in the country you are. By St Patricks day according to my (irish) grandfather. Anthony |

I'm also down south which gives me a couple of weeks leeway too. Well, I'd wait until mid March, and if cold weather seems likely, cover them with straw, fleece, and/or polythene sheet. Or cloches. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

The message
from martin contains these words: Plant them (traditionally) on Good Friday - depending on where in the country you are. but Good Friday is a movable feast. I think you'll have to do better than that. Yes, but governed by the phase of the moon, which will be approaching full. I don't know exactly *HOW* the moon can affect the weather, but it seems to. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
