What second early potato varieties have you chosen to grow for 2011?
Did last years polls affect this years choices?
Or have you struck off into uncharted spud territory?
Vote and let us know!

If its not listed, tell us about it. Hopefully this, along with the "popular varieties" polls will help the undecided or spread the word on any varieties not previously mentioned.  The list is based on varieties mentioned last year.

Charlotte & Kestrel. I never waver from them.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

At the shop they had sold out of charlottes so i chose maris peer as second best.
Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.

I grew Vivaldi and had a large crop of tasty potatoes especially when roasted as they really crisped up.

Charlotte and Marfona. Just ordered from JBA. I wanted Kestrel but they were sold out, so took Marfona as 2nd choice.

As i am totally new to this which spuds would be recommended for growing in bags as i am short of space. Any advice really appreciated.
when it comes to age we are all on the same boat.......But some of us  have been on board that that little bit longer
