We have just finished our first early potatoes, (Rocket). There were not
very many per plant but very large - up to 1 lb each. Is this a
characteristic of the variety or something about my cultivation ?

Had some of our Rockets tonight. Very pleased with them. But yours were 1
lb each ? That's massive. Ours are around 4/5 ounces each and 7/8 per
plant.

Also growing Charlotte - very nice.

Our Rocket, grown in buckets as the first first early, arae about 3 - 4
ounces and ten per plant.

We also have Swift in buckets and the rest in the ground.

If you want an early potato with some flavour, try Sharpes Express.
