I suppose I am one of the lurkers sho just sits to see what everybody else
has to say, most of the time in any case.

Last season in the UK I grew early and main crop potatoes but unfortunately,
for one reason or another I was not able to dig the crop.  Do you think that
by leaving the old crop in the ground I will have a successful crop in the
summer this yearor should I dig them up and start afresh?

all the best

Perry.

Just North of London, damp and cold.
