You should concentrate on the earlier types if you're short of space. It's worth remembering that Earlies are less likely to encounter pest problems as they're lifted so much earlier in the year.
Plant Early Potatoes about 30cm (12") apart with 40-50cm (16-20") between the rows.
Get your Potatoes off to a good start > 'CHIT' ie encourage sprouting before planting!
How to CHIT: (Each seed potato has a more rounded/blunt end that has a number of 'eyes') About 6 weeks before you intend to plant, stand the tubers with the blunt end uppermost in trays or old egg boxes with plenty of natural light. The potatoes are ready to be planted out when the shoots are 1.5-2.5cm (0.5-1") long
Earlies can be lifted and eaten as soon as they're ready. This will be when above-ground is still green and usually as soon as the flowers are open.
