    I threw a few rows of roosters in the ground this evening. Was it too late? Waste of time?

    Nope, I don't think it was a waste of time, but I wouldn't be in a rush to harvest them. We planted some Christmas ones around the start of September last year and they grew quite happily through the Autumn & Winter and were ready for Christmas.

    No ,throwing chickens around is not to be tollerated.

    Thanks, I'm a bit of a potato novice - have loads of ground and a few record seeds as well which I'll plant tonight.

    A Rooster potato would be main corp, so you're fine to start growing them now.
