    Presumably they didn't want you putting your spuds in in January?

    I am soooo tempted. However, I do not have a balcony or a garden lol. Would potato seeds keep and how long for? (Just in case I do move and get a garden!)

    lol seed potatoes are just smaller potatoes, not seeds ;-)

    They will start rotting within about 3 months from now if you don't plant them.
  • or you could just buy 8 seed pot tubers for a quid from a pound shop. Never tried seeds, always used seed pots.

    Even cheaper! Take a few potatoes out of your bag that you bought with your weekly shop.

    Plant them.

    Wait a few weeks.

    Pick lots.

    Doesn't cost anything for postage ;)
    Thats what I did for the past few years :) - Even crossed two breeds.

    I know they are smaller Sirbrainy, lmao I'm not that thick.:p Although I would have thought they would keep longer. How many spuds would you get to one tuber oh wise one? :o

    ETA: Just noticed TheSaint mentioned to use shop bought potatoes. Again, same question, if you put one potato in say a grow bag I'm assuming it multiplies to how many? Oh gawd, I do sound thick....
