Default Potatoe Woes

I planted Golden Wonder (main) and Sante (2nd earlies) from T&M in
early April. The problem being is that the labels have faded and I can't
remember which is which for definate!!!

The flesh of Golden Wonder potatoes is yellow, (which is why they are
much used for crisp making) while Sante are much whiter. We will be
lifting some of our Sante today to make room for other crops, but the
rest of them will need another 2-4 weeks to reach maturity. We have seen
a lot more leaf than flowering on any of our potatoes this year, though
the crop seems to be fairly normal.
