Now everyone is eating their early potatoes how are they?
What do you think of the varieties you grew for growth and taste?

We grew Inova and Printaline this year and must say we are rather
impressed, probably the best early pototoes we have ever grown for
yield, tuber quality/shape and flavour and that says a lot as we try
different varieties every year. When the potatoes were still small we
were getting over 3lb from each plant and the last Inova we dug up we
got over 5lbs although they are beginning to get large, still taste
nice though. The Printalines seem to have stayed smaller, more like new
potato size.

So please let us know how your varieties have done?


International Kidney and they're delicious!


I could not find any to buy localy, I know how good they are, but no body
has them. Online is far too expensive.
I guess you are talking about the former Jersey Royal.
They are up there in my top 10 first earlies.
