Just seems odd that you can get them cheaper via post from our local nursery, after they've gone through a "middle man", rather than direct from T & M themselves!

Much in the commercial world makes no sense unless you know all the ins and outs.

If you think spuds are bad, try books. Completely weird the ways the book trade works.

Quote from: "DD."

Medwyn Williams, (look him up if you've not heard of him), once wrote in Gardening News that he went to a trial of Sarpo Mira.

The were grown in a block, surrounded by King Edwards that had been deliberately infected with blight.

All the King Eddies had gone black & collapsed & the SM were still standing tall & proud in the middle of this lot.

I wonder what would have happened if a block of Cara had been surrounded by Sarpo Mira or any other variety deliberately infected with blight?
Sarpo Do have great blight resistance I have to say.
