Quote from: "Balaton Ben"
I have only seen two types of seed potatoes here in Hungary [1 x red and 1 x white] names unkown but are probaly unpronounceable anyway :?
Don't seem to do earlies but when spring comes it comes with a  vengence.  Crop last year was my first attempt here and reasonable.
btw, my purple sprouting......erm... still hasn't.
Snow has gone, lake is losing it's ice and sunny daytime temp last three days around 10 degs.


What's your Hungarian like Ben , would you like a few  addresses for next time?

And unfortunately they are probably very well prononcable, unless you go out of your way, as western big corporate takes over everything that includes near unavailability of local varieties and means no choice.

Hi Gobs, my Hungarian limited to a few words but we manage to get by :)
I suspect that Hungary exports its best produce, decent cuts of Beef are non existant as is any lamb although one does see both in the countryside.  Back on topic, I grew both varieties last year and had quite a decent crop.
Regards, Ben

I find, local seed varieties are disappearing, less and less is available, more and more the same as you can by here.

My Anya and Pentland Javelin have arrived! And rather a lot of onions. I said I wouldn't bother this year but they were a bargain.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Got some Dunluce under the kitchen table. Might do the rest in my greenhouse.


Make sure they don't get drawn - need light & not a lot of heat!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
