Looking at my copy of the Allotment Keeper's Handbook it says you can plant them direct in May or June (or July for Autumn crop) so assume it's still fine. But I'd ask one of the more experienced hands if I were you! p.s. I'm not sure why this website asked me to "approve" your comment before adding it - sorry about that. I've fiddled with the settings and it should happen automatically now. Thanks Andrea – I’m afraid I’m really not the person to be asking for advice about spuds (or anything).

I had started clearing nicely my second plot, but then the weather turned quite rainy for a while and I did not feel like getting covered in mud. When the weather finally turned sunny again I was so swamped with e-mails and work that I could not afford to go to the allotment. Result: I went there a couple of days ago and I've found a jungle. I don't know how you can put up with me as your neighbour, really! :-) Anyway it seems that from now on I'll have the time to go there and clean it up, but I don't know how much I will grow this year...The tomatoes and the courgettes i grew in pots in my backyard are begging to be planted out...The potatoes are crying too. By the way: do you know what happens if I plant them now? I know I'm dead late for it but... See you soon! Hi there Gareth,
