Default Seed potato recommendations please!


"Graham wrote in message
FE.....Concorde; SE....Kestral (slug resistant which is the most

important
criteria for me but it's also a good spud)




I would rate CONCORDE as the best potatoe that I have ever
grown.Though a first early it bulks up to produce great bakers,chips
or roasts.Nine tubers provided enough for two of us eating them three
to four times a week and we still have plenty left,but I did use a
different growing method to get this huge crop.Forgot to say that In
our opinion it is also the best flavoured one that we have ever
tried,and boy have we tried some.No blight or slug damage,but I put
that down to the different way of growing them.


Well don't leave us in suspense Graham, what is your growing method? Also do
you normally have a slug problem?

I've dug up a 25ft row of maincrop (Kondor) before now and got less than a
bucket of useable spuds due to slugs, so is it worth me leaving mine in for
larger spuds? (or slug food)
