Anya and Rooster potatoes - any good?

Been growing Roosters for many years.
They make great mash, boiled, chips and great roasties.
Having some that are stored in shed today for roast. They store well and am usually eating them in April from picking in aug/sep.

They do produce an abundant crop say of spuds about 3-4 inches and occasionally a larger few. Rarely get any smaller ones, which is good.
Not found them to have any slug damage.
But I've been growing my own nematodes for a number of years now and add that before I put the seed potatoes in. rarely have spoilt spuds and this year had none.
They do come early, so tend to be the first lot I eat, before my usual Maris and Desiree and other varities I occasionally grow.

i grew them this yr an will again next year   great tatties

Hi,

Grow Rooster every year, but only for roasters and chips(for the kids) they go to mush when boiled with us!
Very little slug damage!

Anya,only grew once, total waste of space with me!

Regarding slug damage and potatoes, we used to get loads of stable manure delivered to our plots, more than we could use, for free by a local stable but not any more!
Have to use home made compost from two large compost bins, though it is hard to fill them now without the manure!

 On the land I was going to grow the spuds  I put the manure on by barrow loads, the potatoes used to get a lot of slug damage, but since it is no longer available there is almost no slug damage now!

The soil is now in very good condition, but i do scatter lots of slug pellets to keep the pests down somewhat!

It would appear in my case it was the manure that was encouraging the slugs!

Anya produced a huge crop that kept well throughout the winter.  Good for roasting in olive oil and with rosemary with their jackets left on.
