I grew Cara as a main crop last year and they were awesome.  Big crop and BIG spuds. Some were size of a mango.  Great taste and good allrounders - made great roasties for Christmas dinner. I have gone back for more this year.

I also grew Pentlands and they were good too. I have gone for rocket like yourself this year.

I was very happy with my Cara last year. Got a dose of blight and had to cut them back in Sept, but still managed to get some big bakers.

Lasted up until a couple of weeks ago.

Good roasties and mash.

Thanks for that reminder about the list mumofstig - just checkled what yields I had last year and noted that I written I must grow less this year ( we still have enought to last till next month!)  Oh dear went to potato day yesterday at Ryton Organic Gardens - think I've done it again - is there a cure for potato addiction

[mumofstig]

Nope

Cara has v tall foliage which some folk don't like as it looks untidy so an improved Cara is Picasso, apparently. I've grown both and they are lovely spuds

grew both cara and picasso, on my plot the picasso were by far the best, bigger spuds, bigger crop and biggerr flavour.
