Ulster Classic is fifth one up!

Hey, you've just edited your post!

We could be talking about any spud, as the poll is entitled "new" potatoes, which to my mind is any potato dug prior to maturity.

Have you got something against this thread DD or is it just me being paranoid.

Sorry about the edit.  I realised as soon as I posted I had missed Ulster Classic in the list.   

Not sure about my British Queen ones then. I do use a few as new potatoes and leave the rest to mature.  They are such a versatile spud, lovely boiled, baked, roast or mash.

Just trying to ensure it goes OK. Not just me that's giving input!

Sharp eyes, mine are getting dim.

Thanks for fixing that.

Interesting.  Rocket (which I didn't grow) is making the pace.
I have lifted Swift & Winston so far with Winston by far the better in quantity & taste.

[Tom Hill]

Very impressed with my Casablanca, comparable to Winston and lovely taste.

I have maris peers being pulled at the moment, not on the list!!   

[homegrown]

Marris peer are 2nd early

That'll be why then  You'll have to forgive my ignorance, still learning! Is it only first earlies that are 'new potatoes'? 

[Tom Hill]

Just a reminder to vote before the poll closes.  I would expect even the Northernmost gardener to have dug " New Potatoes" by now.

Most of my red duke of yorks are still in the ground because the ones we have tried have been tasteless and we wont be growing them again.

They may get thrown into a soup or stew to get rid.

Anyone actually like the taste of them.

My Swift went in very late, about 16th May. Have had a fantastic crop despite the dry weather. Haven't had any artificial watering. Will definitley grow again.

I am finding it impossible to vote because it is my first time growing potatoes and I have not been at all impressed by my International Kidney (nothing like true Jersey Royals)  and only slightly more impressed by my Winston  The only one we love and would grow again is the Charlottes and they are not first earlies even though they were ready at the same time!  :blink:
