Potatoes are a firm Kiwi favourite and a treat on the table from summer through to autumn - consecutive planting means you can enjoy them for months on end. Sweet waxy and delicate, they were almost the best part of the Christmas banquet!

Follow our top tips for a bumper crop of tasty homegrown spuds at your place.

Prepare and plant

• Potato planting time is from September-December in New Zealand.
• Grow your potatoes from Tui Certified Seed Potatoes – these are certified to ensure they are true to type, and will grow a healthy crop. Select a variety of seed potatoes that suits your tastes/how long you want to wait for your potatoes to be ready.

• Early varieties like Rocket and Swift take about 90 days to mature, so if you plant them in September you'll be on track for Christmas. Jersey Bennes are a tasty option for Christmas – they take a couple of weeks longer to mature, but are irresistibly waxy.
• Plant different varieties of potatoes from early spring right through until the last week of January. Doing this provides a constant supply of new potatoes from December through to Easter and a main crop that will last right through the winter. Soft-skinned potatoes don't store well and if left to harden off the waxy varieties tend to sprout quite quickly, so it's a good idea to also plant some main crop varieties for long-term storage.
• Buy seed potatoes at least a month before you plant them, as they need to be sprouted before they go into the ground. Called chitting, this process involves laying them out on trays or racks in a dry, airy spot away from direct sunlight, until the sprouts are about 2-4cm long.
• Don't plant potatoes in the same place each year, and avoid planting them where tomatoes have been planted the previous season, to reduce the risk of spreading disease.
• Prepare your soil with organic matter like Tui Compost and Tui Sheep Pellets.
• Add a layer of Tui Vegetable Mix to plant into.

Nourish and care

• Replenishing nutrients used by your plants ensures they will grow to their full potential. Potatoes are heavy feeders but they don't like a lot of nitrogen – this just encourages a lot of leaf growth instead of focusing their energy on producing tubers.
• For potatoes planted in garden beds feed with a specialty fertiliser like Tui Potato Food, which contains high levels of phosphorus and potassium promote healthy tuber production and plant growth. Feed every three to four weeks during key growth periods.
• If you don't have a lot of room to grow potatoes, try growing them in containers or planter bags full of Tui Vegetable Mix – you'll be amazed by how many potatoes you can produce in a very small space.
• Mound your potatoes as shoots grow, until they are approximately 300mm tall to protect them and encourage tuber development. Continue mounding your potatoes with Tui Vegetable Mix as shoots grow, until they are approximately 300mm tall. This protects them from wind and frost, prevents light reaching tubers and turning them green, and encourages tuber development.

You read that correctly: Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most anticipated and best-selling RPGs of the year -- 15 million copies have reportedly been sold to date -- has just been pulled from one of the top gaming marketplaces in the world. The news is shocking, to say the least: it's the first time Sony has ever removed a AAA game from its store as far as we can tell.

This unprecedented move comes after a solid week of backlash from console gamers who have been struggling to run Cyberpunk 2077 on the base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Due to significant performance problems, game breaking bugs, and horrifying visual glitches, console players have been flocking to Sony and Microsoft in a desperate attempt to get their money back after buying what they feel is a completely broken product.

The information came to light through a new refund page dedicated specifically to Cyberpunk 2077, which you can view here. On the page, Sony states the following:

SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store. SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.

Once we have confirmed that you purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store, we will begin processing your refund. Please note that completion of the refund may vary based on your payment method and financial institution.

CD Projekt Red, for its part, has apologized for the game's state on consoles, but that hasn't been enough for many fans. With the biggest fixes expected to arrive between January and February, it's perfectly understandable that some aren't comfortable waiting to get a decent experience out of a game they paid full price for, and it seems Sony has come around to that way of thinking.

To be clear, Sony has not explicitly stated why it made this decision, but it should be obvious to anyone who has been following Cyberpunk's troubled launch.

If you don't mind dealing with the issues console copies of Cyberpunk 2077 are suffering from, or if you plan to play the game on the PS5, we should note that PS4 copies can still be purchased. However, you'll have to get a physical unit from a different retailer; Gamestop or Amazon, for example.

If you happen to own an all-digital PS5, though, you effectively cannot play Cyberpunk 2077 at all for the time being, which is, again, shocking. We're curious to see what sort of response (if any) CD Projekt Red offers regarding this dilemma, and we'll be reaching out to both the developer and Sony for comment. In particular, whether or not these refunds are forced or opt-in.
