I thought that before buying this year I would ask 2 Q's about first
earlies and maincrop.

1/ Does small seed potato mean small crop? By small seed size I mean pigeon
egg size or smaller, and large seed size I mean chickens egg or larger.


2/ In the UK. which is the earliest first early cropping variety you have
grown?

I intend to grow:
Swift,(first early) purely because I have read they are THE first early.
Arran Pilot,(first early) for their beautiful taste.
Pentland Javelin,(first early) taste, size and cropping, though a later
crop.
Maris Piper,(main crop) I like these because thet crop well and are so
versitile in boiling, baking, chipping and keep well.

I haven't mentioned disease resistence and have had scab with the P.J. and
M.P. last year. Could be due to watering?

This year I am planting area 8m by 6m (big area to me) so I would like to
hear any views/ criticism or general help.

Thanks
