Storing capabilities of second earlies

I was using Ambo up until just before Christmas when I ran out, with no sign of them deteriorating

I've stored second earlies until Jan when they ran out. The smaller marble sized ones were looking a little rubbery by then, while the large ones were perfect, so would advise to use the small ones first. (Have done this with Maris Peer, Ulster Sovereign and Gladstone- all kept ok)
Actually I've even kept some first earlies that i had allowed to grow large until then (Red duke of york) and they were absolutely fine

The latest i've sown them was June, the year i got my plot- sowed first, second and main and got a very decent crop from all of them by September - which surprised me as i wasn't expecting much from the Maincrop ones.

Have just finished our Kestral and they were fine.

We still have Charlottes left and they are still fine 

Started the maincrop Cara but they need their sprouts knocking off regularly.

WIll be growing more Charlottes this year.

If you leave potatoes to mature before you lift them most varieties, including earlies, will keep.

Earlies lifted before they are mature, which is when they should be lifted and eaten, will not keep. Same goes for seconds and mains.

Thats good to know
