mutations

Don't suppose you were in such a hurry to buy and plant them that you didn't pay close attention to what you got?  I've done that with leeks thinking I'd planted onions.

Nah, all bagged up in individual bags and then chitted in egg boxes all written out in magic marker but a PF seed potato looks like a PF and you can't mistake it for a kestrel or a King Edward can you lol plus like I said I only bought enough for 1 row (9 seed potatoes)

So the question is can cross pollination take place in potato land ?

I am hedging towards yes as the proof is in the potato shown 


Don't get me wrong I am not overly bothered as they are a lovely potato, just intrigued.

I think this explains things........................it's the weather to blame again

That is interesting and more than likely the answer,  but mine look to have the colour of PF's and are knobbly, plus they got a good watering during the dry sunny spell.

Thanks for having a good search for the solution for me 

Oh, I was rather liking the potato fairy idea

Maybe the potato fairy 

Boiled some and they tasted like PF's.

Ah well it remains a mystery it seems, not fussed they tasted great, just got a lot more tatties to eat than planned on, the kestrels were for chipping/roasting really.

 

yes they do - your problem is......................?  :blink:

I think a small rounded seed PFA could look surprisingly like a Kestrel and one or more of the bags you bought as Kestrel was PFA.
