Goodness! You've taken a lot on, Bob. I assume these are for your
allotment rather than your house garden.

I'll be particularly interested in how you get on with your Kestrel, since
I'm growing those too, but a general report at the end of the season would
be great. I imagine you're also growing on London Clay?
Let's hope we don't get a summer of blight, floods and grizzly gastropods.


Grown it for years and years, excellent potato, good for just about
everything in the kitchen and also showing if you're that way inclined. Does
not keep as long as a maincrop but we use the Kestrel up first. Yes, we are
on Thames silt/clay, very acid, heavy and very sticky, constantly needs a
lot of organic matter and working to make it friable. Can't get on it to do
anything until it dries out.
