Does anyone know where to get large quantities of sarpo mira seed potato (for next year) for our allotment society?

our allotment society uses Kings Seeds for seed potatoes - I noticed they do sell Sarpo Mira as well

Unless you are growing them because of blight, I would try some other variety or varieties!

I grew them when they were first offered, large crop of large potatoes but they were terrible taste and no blight!

After a few meals we gave up cooking them, I gave some to a fellow plot holder, he asked me after wards was I trying to poison him, so it was not just me who disliked them!

No doubt others will tell you how wonderful they are, including Alys Fowler and the bloke from the company who promotes them!

Opinions on the flavour do vary a lot. I assume you have already tried these snow white, to make sure you are going to enjoy your crop?

Most horticultural suppliers should be able to supply them - have you tried your regular supplier?
