Hi Mar :wave:
It's not too late to plant them even where you are.
What variety are they?

Hi there! My local homebase today had stacks of bags of seed potatoes marked down to 50p per large bag, quite a lot of them had chitted too Not sure if that helps but is a lot cheaper if you have one close by?

Go to page 2 any of the autumn/xmas ones will be fine especially if you put them in tubs with a big flag pole sticking out of them so you can find them in the snow:rotfl:

If you do decide to grow them later in the year for christmas, they will need protection from frosts - it's often recommended to move the tubs into a greenhouse to protect them a little. for end of year digging, you'll need to sow them in about august.
