    Hi
    You should able to I' in Prince George and last week planted the fall crop. When I was on the coast I would plant pretty much what I could get my hands on at this time of year and averaged @ 3 to 5 lbs. / plant


    Good luck

    Regards Doug

    Thanks Doug
    As you say is a problem getting seed at this time of the year so I'll probably resort to sprouting some grocery shop bought. Do you know what the little grubs which are attacking the potatoes? They are not slugs but rather like little white tubes. The potatoes look super until the skin is removed when little holes become visible - most strange!
    Thanks again.
    Margaret
