The variety is International Kidney and they can only be called Jersey Royals when grown on Jersey. I lot of growers, myself included, have found them quite disappointing so prefer to grow varieties more suitable to our own conditions.

You can add me to that list.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Mine have done well but I live in an area with similar conditions as Jersey.

As I understand it is the seaweed they use for fertilizer that gives Jersey Royals their  Unique flavour or thats what I was told by a chef  ;)
I cook therefore I grow
