 It would be helpful to have an up to date poll of potato variety following on from last years weather extremes.

[DD.]

Two points.

You need to list way more varieties. The potato poll of 2011 listed 20 and there are many more out there that people may be growing.

It's rather early to be starting a poll when a lot of people have not had the chance to harvest them yet.

Good point DD.
I have upped the choices.
The poll runs until the end of July.  If they are not out by then they could hardly be classified as "early".

[DD.]

"Early" does not really refer to the point on the calendar when you harvest them, rather their shorter growing period.

In my opinion, it would have been better to have started the poll later on and then run it for a shorter period. It could well slip down the forums and get forgotten while people do their harvesting.

Twenty Three Varieties.
Have I missed any popular ones ?

Our red duke of yorks are still in the ground, i cant do it yet i am worried we may get nothing in return. I forgot when i put them in 

[DD.]

You echo my thoughts BQ, that this poll has been created a little early.

I've been eating Premier and am very impressed with them lovely tasty spuds!

Dug up one Pentland Javelin and it only had 6 spuds 2 gose egg size 2 chicken egg size and 2 golf balls :/

Because of the wet, the earliest I could put potatoes in was just after mid-April, so my Duke of York shouldn't ready for lifting till the end of July (small wail)...the plants are tiny right now.

Ema.
I have added Premier to the list.  Thank you.

Can you edit Lady Christi to Lady Christl, please?

[Tom Hill]

Sharp eyes, mine are getting dim.

[arugula]

Good at proof reading although I manage to miss my own mistakes sometimes. Also my favourite variety.

[DD.]

Ulster Sceptre and Sherine are also two varieties sold by one of the leading seed spud merchants, who is a member on here, so I suppose they'd better go on!

Oh, and apologies for being pedantic, but "Premiere" has an "e" on the end!

I am growing British Queens as a second early.  Are we only talking about first earlies here?   My Ulster Classics aren't ready yet.
