"Mushy Potatoes" - anyone know why?

... Grown in too dry conditions. And/or Wrong variety. You don't say which variety but floury ones will do as you say especially if they have been subject to drought conditions. Try some waxy ones and/or drought tolerant ones next year. Kestral (SE), Spey (MC) and Romano (MC) seem Ok for us .. Hello Bob, I'm replying to your later post about watering and slugs. I saw that on Google but my news server hasn't picked it up. Yes, I know we're in a very fortunate position with our private water supply and it's been a godsend this year. Funny this thing with slugs though, it seems to be almost impossible to make reliable predictions about what will or won't be damaged by slugs anywhere except for one's own garden. Desiree has always been one of the least bad ones for slug damage here. Almost all white maincrop spuds are bad, anything floury is bad. The only white maincrop we've had much success with is Valor, some of the whites with red eyes are not too bad, Picasso and Kestrel haven't been too bad. -- Rod My real address is rodthegardeneratmyisp |
