In my experience Kestrel isn't a huge cropper anyway and you've
probably got all you're going to get from that. The maincrops should
be OK so long as they continue to get water.
They've probably got quite a lot of bulking up still to do.

Thanks to Harry and Rod

Agreed, the Kestrel isn't a huge cropper, but the first plant or two lifted
were well down on last year.
We like this variety boiled as a salad potato, but again the flavour and
texture are not as good this year.
They were bought initially for their slug and pest resistance which has
proved successful compared to previous trials with other early varieties.
