Ordered your potatoes?

If not, don't panic. Out of season, I unexpectedly needed to photograph chitting potatoes. My spud expert mates said there was no way I'd get hold of any. Then I remembered my fav magazine, Kitchen Garden, which is essential reading for all plotholders, had recommended Jamieson Brothers some months earlier. Sure enough, at a weekend, they flew to my rescue and, a few days later, diminutive and perfectly formed spuds ready for chitting arrived in the post. My next experiment is growing them much too early in pots on the balcony. So if you haven't already ordered your Earlies and Maincrops don't panic, just click on the link: http://www.jbaseedpotatoes.co.uk/ Judging by my experience, they'll help if they can.
And don't forget to look at their "potatoes for Christmas" offer. Plant in September, on the plate on Christmas day...
