There does seem to be a problem this year at least here in northern
Normandy. Don't know the cause. You can cook earlies in the microwave,
but it takes some care.


Mine have been the best crop ever this year. I think it is down to
several factors: The variety "Daisy" are a high cropping and large sized
potato variety. Secondly I've been hand watering them with pee in the
ratio of approximately 1 part pee to 20 parts water. There has also been
a lot of sun. I'll definitely grow "Daisy" again.
