Having broken my back putting in these two varieties of potatoes I was reliably informed that Rocket are not very nice!

Anyone tried them and liked them?

[Howard]

I've not tried Rocket, but I can tell you I found Winston to be very bland. It's best use is as a show potato.

Thanks Howard,

I'm glad I stuck in a row of Ulster Sceptre now.

Rocket are lovely, whole family liked them.  Charlotte even nicer.

I grew rocket last year and had a heavy crop from my tiny raised bed in the garden.
my mum bought the seed spuds from a seed specialist and was told that they dont flower, well mine didnt flower so i just dug them up when i thought the time was right and there were loads of them!

[sclarke624]

But did you like them Exbattmad.

You are all up later than usual tonight or on here at least later than usual, I thought I was the only night bird.  Nothing on tele huh!

[Exbattmad]

Yes sclarke i loved them and they store really well for ages too!

I have not heard of these varieties but if you google potato rocket and potato winston you can find out all about them. Seem a good choice to me. As for taste only you can decide.
