I have just got 2 kgs of seed pots for the garden. i have a built up garden 9 sq mtrs with plenty of drainage and around 12-15 inches of fresh soil. I have read that i need to let my seed pots grow shoots first so have placed them in egg boxes in my garage.......i live on the sunshine coast qld....when is the best time to plant them in the soil and when will they roughly be ready? thanks for any advice! PAUL

12 July - We have had ours in the ground for about 5 weeks now so if you don't have them in yet do it this w/end. You should be able to harvest in spring before it gets too hot, but you can dig them up anytime you want... they just may be on the small side or "new" potato's, still good... the rain we are having at the present time here on the Sunshine (or Unshine) Coast is good for the crop if nothing else.
