Title: first earlies
Post by: hiccup on February 19, 2017, 06:31

       Morning All

                     I visited the garden centre yesterday and bought a bag of first earlies called
                        Epicure, has anyone grown them? I'll be going to the potato fare at the end of
                        the month but could'nt resist.

Have read that these are good for growing in frosty areas, as the foliage is resistant to frost.
It is listed as a tasty white skinned first early.
