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!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

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.
