I just opened the packet of Ratte seed spuds and discovered I've enough to carpet the whole B. allotment. Now I know I've got to clear it again this year, but this is ridiculous. Esp as year before they were like hen's teeth.

I've also got twice as many Charlottes as I need and a couple of extra Picasso.

Anyone want to take the spares? They are already chitting merrily!

Ooh yes please MB, I've not growed those before. I'll pm you.

I have Picasso this year but have never grown Rattes or Charlotte. If you still have any left after the rest of the vultures have had their dibs, I shall relieve you of what you have left please MB.

grown Charlotte but note Ratte

Any spares gratefully received and how Obviously in an orderly queue o'course

think ill be to late but yes please

I shall go and count the Rattes then, and see about finding a load of padded bags - ironically I just recycled a pile the other week

I know I've got 9 Charlotte and just 2 Picasso.

Wardy you might well get a delivery next week when you likely to be in?

HT and Looby - yes to which? any?

moonbells

edit: 27 rattes spare... I only wanted 8!!!!

Can you be more percific Of course I can be in if you're bearing gifts

im grateful for any you have MB thank you

OK: divvying up as to who wants what and according to who asked first (to decide the 6 rather than 7 Rattes...)

Looby: 7 Rattes + 3 Charlotte + 1 Picasso
Impy: 7 Rattes + 3 Charlotte
Wardy: 7 Rattes
HT: 6 Rattes + 3 Charlotte + 1 Picasso

Rattes: small maincrop salad (and a bit blighty so cut down very fast if it hits) bred from Pink Fir, so similar flavour but not nearly as knobbly!
Charlotte: 2nd early oval salad
Picasso: maincrop, supposed to be heavy cropper.

Not that I like waxy salad potatoes, no...

I will attempt to get them to you all sometime in the next week or few: meanwhile they'll live with my others so will chit a bit.

moonbells

Ooh, fanx everso MB, you are kind No rush for em here...

Thanks Mom!

Three packets nicely ready-chitted spuds on the way!

I just hope the mail doesn't remove all the chits... have labelled them fragile in hope they don't put them through the rollers!

moonbells (sorry it took so long... everything seems to, these days)

Ooh, great. Thanks. Will let you know when they turn up. At least our local postie knows there's usually one of us about and she rings the bell if there's anything that won't go thru the letterbox.

They turned up - thanks MB Postie had tried to stuff them into the post box we have attached to the wall to save his fingers from Amber though, but they seem to have escaped unscathed

got mine too MB thanks

Mine turned up too MB. Ta everso - the timing's just right cos last night I spent 2 hours digging the last solid bit of soil where I'm planting my taters, so tis all ready You're a *

Glad they all got there. Didn't put notes in - figured that I just had to get them off before I forgot again!

Guess you can figure out from the tubers which is which: the only ones I didn't write their initials on were the rattes!

moonbells (who still has to plant her own...)

Bunged em in - pampered too with loads of shite and grass cuttings

Mine are in too
