I may be mad, but I don't talk to dead kings ... and I'm not sure Josephine is a good name for a large, hairy spider. Venus, possibly:~). -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Bob Hobden said: "Sacha" wrote I've just seen a newspaper ad for a variety called Swift which claims to give the earliest crop. I've never grown them so am just passing on the info. Swift vies with Rocket to be the earliest of earlies. How is it for flavour, Bob? We'll be off to Tuckers soon! Never grown them but my books say... Swift.. Suitable for showing. Short foliage makes this the best variety for growing under polythene. Good disease resistance. Yield slightly higher than usual. Oval shape, white skin, waxy texture, lemon coloured flesh. Use as new potatoes. Rocket... Producing huge crops of uniform, attractive white tubers. Has partial resistance to white eelworm and full resistance to yellow. Good all round cooking qualities. Exceptionally high yield. Round shape, white skin, waxy texture, white flesh. Uses boil, bake, chip and roast. (find that hard to believe unless they are left in the ground to mature) Seems to suggest Rocket is the better potato, but as I've said before, with potatoes it all depends on your soil. International Kidney/Jersey Royals being a prize example of that. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

I've just looked up what the potatoes I popped in this year, cos I knew one was either Rocket or Swift. http://www.cight.com/allotment/archives/000360.html * annabel * rocket * charlotte * lady christl * kestrel * orla * maris piper * king edward Now we were a little naughty with the digging up, and the rocket were left in a /lot/ longer than they should have been. But of all of them, it was the Rocket that went mushy and yuck. |
