OK, have gone a bit mad this year...gulp! Final list for my chosen potato varieties are:-
Maincrop
- Bluebelle
- Lady Balfour (Early)
- Salad Blue
- Pink Fir Apple
- Belle de Fontenay
- Yethom Gypsy
First Earlies
- Pentland Javelin
- Swift
- Red Duke of York
- Amorosa
- Arran Pilot
- Lady Christl
Second Earlies
- Piccolo Star
- Yukon Gold
- Edzell Blue
- Kestrel
- Shetland Black
I have two beds on the allotment dedicated to one bed mains and one bed earlies. The rest will have to take their chances in bags at home or in the patch at the bottom of the lane (I grew Desiree there two years ago which cropped really well). I have dispensed with my usual varieties and am growing a line of each of the earlies.
Reason? Because I am fed up with the same old, same old if I'm honest. 2012 is my year of change!
Salad Blue - Chitting Nicely
Update - went to Ryton's potato day on 28/1/12 and purchased:-
Edzell Blue, Yethom Gypsy, Ratte and Shetland Black.
That's me sorted...
