HI I bought Pink Fir potatoes and have chatted them – I discovered that these should be planted around end April. If I plant them, say, beginning of April will this be OK? I think if I leave them chatting much longer they will run out of energy! Also I don’t want to go to the bother of digging a deep trench and building up the soil on top of the potato as it grows, would it be OK to make a deep hole and drop the potato down the hole and let it grow up naturally?
