Lots of shoots means lots of small potatoes, but fewer (or
one) shoot means fewer but larger potatoes.

I left all the shoots on my Foremosts but have the same results as John
- a few very big spuds which are more like maincrop in the kitchen. I
also have a lot of scab.

If this is standard for Foremost, I'm growing something else next year.
