Ask a neighbour for a couple.
You could always ask a neighbour growing them for a couple of tubers then store them in a cool place in a paper bag till needed, they can be chitted just like a seed potato before planting in a pot.
Always keep a few of them back for next year, so they maybe expensive to buy in the first instance they should be a pepetual crop!

The days are beginning to lengthen and although it may not feel like it at times the temperatures are slowly increasing day by day. More importantly the longer days are the real trigger to new growth and you will find that with the help of a little protection you can really go for those early sowings

The soil is warm and the plants growing well. But watch out for a sneaky late frost.
Jobs to do in February
Time to do some groundwork
We get a glimpse of the early signs of the arrival of Spring this month. The soil begins to warm up around the middle of February and we can see for the first time this year the buds beginning to swell on fruit trees and bushes. Overwintering vegetables begin to look less sorry for themselves and they start to produce new growth.
