Many thanks Malcolmx.
I am lucky that I live on the south coast and the frost risk is minimal now so next week if it does not rain too much I will plant them in my dustbins.
Believe it or not I still have beetroot growing from last summer and it seems that it has reseeded itself.
I have very limited space some most of my salad crops have to go into containers but where I live has sunshine from 4 am until 9/10 pm all summer long so my biggest problem is watering properly for all the different plants.
But I am looking forward to a bumper summer if all goes well.

Thanks for the advice I was jsut about to put mine in as they are ready to rock and roll and all my potato bags are ready, and I was just debating when to put them in "Today or the end of the month". So I will hold fire.
Of note is that poundland sell great seed potatoes for...tadah! £1 - 6-7 in a bag. versus £3.99 form my local shop
