where to get various cheap seed potatos in small quantity

I've been into the local garden centre which sells loose seed potatoes at about £1.90 a kilo - nice if you just want a few of different sorts. Also as I was an early shopper I got to pick the slightly smaller ones so got more in the bag for the price - took King Edwards, Pink Fir Apple and am trying some Sarpo for the first time.

It may have cost me coppers more but I had the choice of what I wanted and to choose which ones exactly.

I too grew sarpo Mira on a new plot last year, the other plots suffered badly with blight but mine were fine, the taste however in my view isn't the best

Slugs find it very difficult to get through the skin of Sapro Mira. In view of another damp & mild winter, it's not just for their blight resistance that I'll be growing them again.

Axona are also available from Bridgend Garden Centre if you haven't found them elsewhere. I'm starting to sound like an advert for them. I'll shut up about them now.

T&M do have consistent good quality - if you follow the link from the allotment shop it would be helpful as they sponsor the web site

I have to say I find it difficult to get through the skin of Sarpo Mira.

I grew Mira and Axona last year, this year its Axona and Blue Danube (same family but not as blight resistant).

The Axona is more like a normal potato in taste and the ability to boil, skins don't seem as tough but it didn't get bothered by slugs. I can't imagine anything else though beating Mira in producing mammoth sized tubers.
