There are so many seed potatoes?
Which should I go for?
I want earlies, to plat four every fortnight so as to get a succession.

You don't mention your soil type, we garden on Thames clay/silt, very heavy,
in fact at the moment you could easily throw pots with it despite years of
incorporating organic matter !

FE.....Concorde; SE....Kestral (slug resistant which is the most important
criteria for me but it's also a good spud)

Runnymede fighting for it's existence.



As someone who doesn't grow potatoes and whose only lot of seed rotted off 2
years ago thanks to rain, does anyone grow Dunbar? It's the *most*
delicious potato, especially when roasted but I gather it's very prone to
mildew so isn't popular commercially. Have you tried it, Bob?
