You lot are bloomin' marvellous - except now I have too many options!! I will try your planting dates Digger, as on reflection our ground probably warms up quicker than WG's and I have visions of them all being ready at the same time.
Will bookmark the link so I can refer to it next month when I put my potato order in.

but I though we were "virtually" in the same place

In that case, consider your plot "virtually" dug.

Should that be Isle of Jura?

If so, the 'Taterbase' agrees with your findings about the yield, Shaun.

Isle Of Jura

I may see If I can get hold of some of those. One of our local nurseries sells loads of different varieties. I was a bit late this year and they had sold out of a lot, but there were still over 80 types left!

Ulster Chieftan were good for me also.
