Default Spuds in glasshouse

I thought that too. Inspecting our pink fir spuds, the leaves are
definitely smaller than the desiree ones. Perhaps there is some
variety with smaller leaves!? This is the first time I do pink fir, at
the lotty and in the 'famous bucket'. Plants from both places have
distinctly smaller leaves than the ordianary white spuds.
