My first time growing spuds and I'm trying the no dig method too  :roll:

Planted:
Pentland Javelin
trial pack (10) Charlotte

Chitting:
Pink Fir Apple
Desiree
trial pack Kestrel

Nice to see more experienced people growing these too :)
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".
