not tried them my self but i'm sure they will be fine. i am trying to make notes of everything this year as my memory is terrible!!

actually i could have tried them and just dont remember!!!

That's why it's important to keep a notebook. So if something is absolute cr@p you know not to try growing it again.

Never tried them, but GA raved about them and piqued my interest

I've had them from the supermarket as a salad potato and they weren't bad.

You are in luck or not!!! I did actually grow these last year.  Tasted ok and nice.  But was very disapointed iwth the yield compared to Charlotte.  that may be because Lady is a first early and charlotte a second I don't know.  By the way I think its Lady Christl with an 'L' on the end not 'i' if you need to google although it seems to have both spellings.

Yields same amount of tubers:
Lady Christl 16lb 4oz (approx 7.3kg)
charlotte 28 and half lb approx 12.9kg)

HTH not much though as you already have them.  Maybe I was unlucky.

Grew Lady Christl last year and they did well. All the family seemed to like them. The old boys on the allotments were moderately impressed too!

Thanks for comments seems it should be a good un

Looked it up on t'internet and it seems it should be Lady Christl although many listings as Lady Christi

Any reccomendations for best salad variety to grow up north?

Whereabouts in N Yorks are you (I'm just being nosy  )
