Just found out that Charlton Park GC who run the Hampshire Potato Day
next
weekend will not be having any of the First Early potatoes we want. All
the
years of growing them and trialling them and finally we decide which we
think is the best and now can't get them. Searches don't show any
anywhere.
Sod's Law.
If anyone knows where we may obtain any of these varieties we would be
very
grateful...
Amandine
Inova
Noisette
Printaline.



Amandine allegedly he

Noisette he

No joy whatsoever with the others from sites in the UK.


Thanks for the links, unfortunately neither have them in stock at this
time,
I will keep checking back to see if they manage to get any. Seems the
French
grower/supplier is reluctant to ship to the UK in good time.



There still seems to be stock of Amandine at Charlton Park for mail
order. Didn't go as far as actually placing an order though.


Yes that is what the site says but when I emailed them to ask if they were
going to have any of the 4 this year, they had Inova and Printaline last
year, they replied no, and that was yesterday. Very strange. Think I'll keep
a look at those links you gave and look at the potato day to see just what
they have and haven't got there next weekend.
