Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong. I grew potatoes for the first
time this year. For Earlies I planted Rocket, and for Maincrop used King
Edward. Both types produced wh\t I considered decent looking spuds in
reasonable quantities, but when I tried to ccok them they were bopth
terrible. Both varieties turned to a mushy pulp when boiled, but both were
ok when chipped. What did I do wrong?

I also grew Rocket once, just ONCE. Tasteless, mushy things that the
slugs loved.
If you want firm, waxy salad potatoes, with excellent flavour try Pink
Fir Apple.
