That’s a whole lot of potatoes. I’m guessing you’ve got a small amount of each. eithre that or a really huge amount of space for them all and a massive chip appetite! How are you going to keep track of what you put in the ground where?

I only got one, two or three of each of the varieties above. Probably too many for the space we have. Might grow some of the first earlies in pots on the patio.
I normally have a plan, in case someone wants to retrieve the labels (think that happened to one of the GQT team).

Silly me- I also read from top of page and thought that’s an awful lot of spuds then discovered the total number of potatoes purchased in your previous post!!!
Haven’t planted anything in my Devon lottie yet this year-there are only blackcurrants,raspberries,strawberries ,polyanthus plus a few daffs there at present-90% of lottie covered in heavty duty black plastic for last 6 months in a bid to reclaim it from the weeds especially the bindweed!!!
However do have some broad beans planted in the garden and hope to plant more ASAP at the lottie
