 I have four 30' rows... all I need is the time and a pick-axe to get some out of the rotten clay soil I planted them into.    Last year it was like lifting them from fine sawdust as I used my old, well-worked plot.


Charlottes excavated so far and the taste was wonderful - tubers pretty good in size and appearance just not a huge yield but I may have too greater expectations as they were late going in...

i think they are Marie pipers ( whatever there called ) i got them from wilko's if that helps

Probably Marie peer, I got some from Wilkinsons as well. Emptied the first pot yesterday not a fantastic yield.  Marie Pipers are main crop.

Or even Maris Piper!

I quite like Billy Piper - but that's a different matter!

They could be something completely different , the only two spuds i know are the Pipers and King Teds ... you can tell i'm new to this game

I used Lady Chrystl for my earlies but the seeds were sent out too early and I lost about half before they were planted. Grew in bags and didn't get a fantastic crop but they were ok.

My second earlies though have been great.  - Vivaldi. Planted out in early march - we have sandy soil. We have had many meals and given some to my parents. I just harvested the last three plants to give more space to the parsnips behind them. Got 9lb of potatoes from 3 plants. Will use these next year without fail, even with our light soil and dry year there was very little scab.
