Default Maris Bard first earlies

They were slow to start but wow what a crop and flavour. Anybody else tried
these?
I will be growing these as our "main" first earlies next year instead of
Arran Pilot, which are very nice indeed. But I find they scab up a bit and
are quite small even when well watered. Probably overwatered?


I think we tried Maris Bard one year and they were ok, but not amazing.
Iirc, we got a fairly low yield. I'll have to go back and check the blog!
