Potatoes 2011: which varieties are you NOT growing

I won't be growing Sarpo Axona again. Tried them last year and they're another one that's impossible to boil without disintegrating, and the skins are horrible, like a bad case of eczema.

not growing Jersey Royals this year not available from supplier so trying Nicola instead never grown them before Desiree is my choice for the  main crop just need to get an early variety depends whats on offer

used to grow Majestic good cropper and Arron pilot but found Desiree do better on my lottie all red spuds seem to do pretty well on the lottie tried PJ'S not impressed by the crop i keep meaning to try a variety called Record we used to grow them on the farm where i worked but they where more of baking or chipping  spud but they used to crop well  doe's anyone grow them i am susceptible about growing other varieties from what your been saying its good to get advise before you jump in feet first i have noted the replies on certain varieties that have been grown 

i think i said before on this site that i never used any fertilizer last year it was noticeable on the spud crop so back to fert this year boys

I've never found any spud that i disliked the taste of, and thats the only criteria I would put something on my "never again" list.
 
Everything else that can or has gone wrong and effected yield, like weather etc might not be the same in other years... and what the slugs ravage on my plot isn't always repeated on someone else's plot.... i just LOVE spuds, i do! I can't hold anything against them 

The one thing i WON'T ever do again is grow in bags.... i found it so hard to water them- the water wouldnt penetrate the soil and just came gushing out the bottom rather than soak through, and the yields were lousy compared to the ones in the ground that had half the growing time.

Me and container growing for spuds don't see eye to eye, though i accept others do well with it.

Hi all, Not growing King Teds this year as very small spuds last year, even though well watered.

Silky 

will not be growing Pentlan Javelin either as I have quite heavy clay soil, despite adding muck, I found the PJ's didn't take well to the dry spring early summer conditions. All were affected by having high solanine levels and tasted disgusting, so for that reason will try something different, like foremost. Red varieties do better on my soil. I agree with others really depends on what weather conditions you have each year.

not growing King edwards ever again  . never got a good yield from them due to underground pests, and spuds were of a very small size 

 Growing Nadines and Cara this year. Next year will try something else like Red Duke of York
