Hi Guys
I have just harvested my first crop of potatoes from tubs. Which I'm very pleased with, as its my first attempt. Here's the question- Is it to late in the year to plant another crop?
Many Thanks in advance.

Is it to late to sow a last crop of Potatoes?
Re: Is it to late to sow a last crop of Potatoes?
No its not! I am going to sow some chitted spuds later into pots.That way they can go under cover in Autumn, and hopefully we will have need spuds at Christmas.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

As Jansman says! You plant some lates (e.g. Desiree) now in August for the Christmas table. Providing they survive summer blight you're good to go

Thank you both. I'll pop down my local garden centre and pick up some Seed Potatoes. Cheers

Look for first earlies if you can they grow quick.
