I've planted unchitted salad taters in early March and got a good crop (not brilliant, but enough to supply me & family for a good bit) and I live at 53 degrees 50'31.50" North, 2 degrees 11'10.12" West!

This my first spring with my allotment (and first visit to a blog forum - never found one that interested me). I hope to visit regular now I have found it. I gotta say I put my seeds in on Good Friday (the traditional day!) - judging by comments that I received I was late. Most of the chaps on adjacent plots had theirs in two weeks earlier (as soon as the ground warmed). Still mine were well chitted so they look great now. S. Hey – cool blog!

Had to laugh though as we planted our potatoes today but my husband and I felt a bit daft before setting off to my plot because we had to look up which way round the potatoes had to be put into the ground! If we get a crop of anything this year it will be a miracle. I am a new allotment holder and found all the posts and comments very helpful.

And thanks for all the encouragement everyone! I feel much better. I've also yet to put in my Pink Fir Apples so we're definitely in for 'some' potato action this year.

You can put first earlies in the moment the soil's dry enough. I've planted them in February in the past – deep – and they do fine. Yeah, relax: Dennis is wrong.
