Spuds!

Ain't that the truth!
Last year was the first time I'd tried growing potatoes (new house with
a small place for vegetable growing) and I'd just watched a TV
programme about heritage varieties so bought a couple of different ones.
The potatoes grew really well and we had a decent crop. But we ended
up giving them away as they were both very floury and we (generally)
prefer waxy ones.
I'll try again this year but make sure I choose the varieties that I
know we'll eat.
Heh, we're on a huge trial-and-error thing. It's been ongoing for the past
8 years. Every year we forget which is which, especially when we eat them.
I'm also not a floury-spud fan.
One year we had some nice ones, Rosa-something (it'll come to me in a
minute), but haven't been able to find them since. They made /really/ good
roasts.
