New potato yields
« on: July 23, 2008, 13:51 »
I had one bag of 2.5kg Lady Christl and one 2.5kg bag of Charlotte seeds.

My seed Charlottes this year, which were planted in 2 very large i.e. 24" across and 18" high pots and three green tidy spring up bins have had a great yield 20lb so far and one spring up bin to go, which I expect 5lbs from maybe more as I have left these a bit longer for size.

Lady Christl, which I have to say had a slightly superior flavour planted in one very large pot and one spring up bag only 9lb.  Possibly because of less space and I think they are lower yielding anyway compared to Charlotte.

Very pleased with that.  I think Charlotte will be a permeant fixture on my list.  Second year of veg growing in the garden.

Don't ask me the metric weights, just got my head around decimal money.  And I'm only 51. :lol:  :lol:

The leaves on all the Charlottes though have bright brown specks on them.  As if someone has used a fence paint sprayer.  The ones already dug up were ok with this on.  So don't think foilage blight.

I've had 49 spuds from three Charlotte tubers so far  :D  Am well pleased because this is my first growing season on the lottie and never done spuds before...
