Step 3: Lay down chitted seed potatoes at 30cm spacing : Maris Bard (First Early), Cheyenne, Charlotte and Allouette, (Second Earlies).
All but Charlotte and Maris Bard were saved from last years crop: kept in the fridge at untillaying out for chitting in seed trays in early February. Cheyenne is a delicious red skinned salad potato no longer available on seed lists which i've kept going for more than 6 years. New organic seed potatoes are sourced from Tamar Organics at around £4.95 for 1.5kg so it's worth saving tubers for next year. However, Tamar remain the best value for certified organic seed pots compared to other online sources such as Potato House.
