Jelly potatoes: are they worth it?
« on: February 15, 2015, 09:44 »
On the 2015 thread, Jelly potatoes are highly recommended. Apparently, those of us who don't grow them don't know what we're missing! So I had a look about. Two pound 49 pence (no pound sign - sorry) for ten tubers (from a suppliers who mainly sells at around one pound 60 pence per kilo for other varieties)! And all sold out to boot. I've read the supplier's blurb, but am always a bit sceptical about what they have to say.

So, a question for Jelly growers, what's so good about Jellies?

Methinks Jellies can't be that good Snoop, as there's a deafening silence on the subject! Can't help I'm afraid but would be interested to know also...
