Jersey Royals are actually the variety "International Kidney" but to my taste buds only taste like JR's when grown in Jersey.

I suspect you may have left it a little late to get seed tubers this year.

You'll need their seaweed too, which is what the flavour is usually attributed to!

That is interesting. I live near the sea so could get hold of seaweed easily.
What do you do with it just dig it into the soil before planting?
