Potato question

If the average size is what you wanted then its the right time, all spud plants will produce big and little tubers, its just their natural cycle. On my earlies I will lift one plant, look at the size and if it how I like them then I chop the tops of the others off to stop them growing and lift as and when I need them (be advised I have very sandy soil so not bothered by slugs that much).

They are fundamentally different types of potato.

The types as you mentioned them in that order have a progressively longer growing season. Thus they can be all planted at the same time, but you will be lifting your lates, (generally maincrop for storing), quite a lot later.

Thank you! Incidentally, I ate my very first potatoes yesterday. From the plot to my plate in under two hours. Didn't know they could taste like that. That's why we grow vegetables!
