Main crop and plant when you plant you other main crop spuds.

Maincrop. I aim to plant all spuds late March/Early April, although the last two years I've not managed to plant until May and still have had cracking crops.

If you plant too early, the ground is cold and the spuds won't do anything.

Anya is another usefull cross with PFA. This time PFA crossed with Desiree. As with Harlequin it is less nobbly than the PFA parent. It is often available in supermarkets.

PFA is a late maincrop and one of its problems is that it can get caught by blight before it bulks up. In my experience it is usually first on the plot to get blight. If you can avoid blight it keeps very well and in fact is very slow to break dormancy in the Spring.

THIS is always a good place to refer your potato queries.. I have grown them a few times too, as has been said, they're a good potato.

PFA is a firm favourite of ours too!  I store in hessian sacks raised off the floor in a dry shed.
We lost the sublime 'new potato' taste earlier than previous years. I put that down to the very
mild weather up until this week. The remaining flavour is still good and surpasses that of other
blander varieties.

Growing on from my own saved tubers for the 5th year. No signs of disease, so why not?
Where quality is equal I plant from the less knobbly tuber and seem to be harvesting fewer
lumpy spuds as a consequence

Thanks everyone for the replies.. Good advice all round as always. I'll find some at our potato day in a few weeks time.

Just to add imho pfa's can be lifted like 2nd earlies,...

I agree, they make a good "salad" potato.
