No,it's not too late, but get them in sooner rather then later.

Personally in the UK I'd have said July was too late to be planting main crop potatoes we plant ours in April with the expectation of harvesting In mid September.

Maybe go with a shorter season crop. I don't think red or gold potatoes require as much time.

In the UK I'd have thought it was too late. You might be lucky with some earlies if you can find any. Pity we can't forecast the weather!

Bathgate what are 'red or gold potatoes'? Our potato tubers are all, basically, white. I suspect this is another of those differences of growing in the UK and US.

We call them Yukon Golds or Red Potatoes, but they may go by another name elsewhere.

Don't think we have in the UK

Mg Yukon Gold was the "in " potato with a certain chef a few years back. It is very tasty. I bought tubers at a Potato Day' I also bought several different red potatoes and blue, purple and brown - "Golden Wonder".

Yukon Golds only need 80-90 days to harvest. Planted now will be ready in October - just enough time. They can even go to 100 days. Yes, they are very delicious.

Have a look at Suttons website - think I saw them advertising stuff for planting now.

Probably for eating around Christmas...
