The 'right' ones are the ones you like best. :-D


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.


The information on this list may help.....

BTW, these are the people that run the Hampshire Potato Day.
