Seed potatoes!!

There's nothing like buying seed potatoes to signal the beginning of the growing season. Maybe just snowdrops and the first rhubarb tips...

I found myself in a garden centre and hadn't set out to buy my seed potatoes but it was one of these places where you can mix and match them and I couldn't resist getting some. 

I got the usual purple maincrops that we love, 'Foremost' and 'Charlotte' for earlies, 'Pink Fir Apple' (which I haven't grown before) and the reliable 'Desiree'.

I'll wait until the end of the month to start chitting them. We'd better get collecting egg boxes now!
