Thanks for the potato poll last year
« on: July 06, 2011, 22:48 »
As the title says, thanks for the favourite potato poll run last year. I've grown Charlotte and Desiree this year on the back of it. Last weekend I dug up the Charlotte's and had a large crop for me (around 40 plants) of beautiful oval tubers. I know they're a salad potato but they roast really well. Only four of them had any holes in them (I used those first) apart from a few others that I put the fork through.
           I'm just hoping they store well as they roasted even better than the Kestrel's I've grown for the last two years . Anyway thanks to all the respondents to the poll. Now looking forward to digging up the Desiree.

It's always gratifying to know members are gaining valuable information from both the polls and the questions/answers.

You're welcome, it makes a difference when your efforts are appreciated! :D We've grown three varieties this year, influenced by the polls and comments to try two varieties new to us. I have to admit, I'm not struck with the new 1st early we tried, but you live and learn. ::) :) I think I have already chosen its replacement for next year though! :D
