Default Spuds

I have just acquired a 50% share in an allotment of best Cambridgeshire fen
soil and am keen to stock it with suitable varieties of vegetables.

Spuds first (though I don't expect to plant them until March).

I don't make chips, but my girlfriend and I like potatoes eaten most other
ways.

Any recommendations as to what I should put in?

Maincrop - Picasso, Cara, Maxine.
Salad- Juliette.
Early - Rocket, Swift, Lady Cristl, Dunluce - Arran Pilot is still a good one
though not such a heavy cropper as some more recent ones.
More sugestions when you get a bigger allotment. Ask your neighbours about
slugs, you might be able to grow some good varieties that we can't grow in
wetter western areas.
