Title: Last week for my potatoes
Post by: Sprouts on April 01, 2012, 19:16

This week will see the end of my stored potatoes. Started last year with rocket in the poly tunnel and haven't bought a potato until the Desiree finish this week.

Next year want to try and do a full year without buying 1 potato

We still have some pink fir apple, but this year (thanks to blight) we have had to buy some for roasties

Planted some more resistant varieties this year  ;)

Just finished ours too and had to buy some from Morrisons yesterday. We planted 3kg each of red duke of york, charlottes and pink fir apple.  (actually we do have PFA left but they don't make good mash)
