Potato minitubers.

Looking for information:

I have just received my minitubers and have heard conflicting versions of what to expect in the first year.
One version is that they will be the same as any other seed potato in terms of yield etc and the other is that they are only for growing next seasons seed potatoes.

Any clarification would be most welcome.

Thanks anyway , but that is what I said, one of the two conflicting versions, what I need is definitive answers.

Cos i've nothing better to do i been reading more and it seems to me, that there are many sizes of micro or mini tubers....from about 5g upwards. These tiny ones are the ones they 'grow on' to make seed potatoes.
Once they get to the size that alan roman and others are selling about 25g(?) they are same as ordinary seed potatoes.

You could always PM Iain@JBA he's the seed potato man to give you a difinative answer

I got these from Alan  Romans, and they are not that much smaller than the seed potatoes I put in yesterday, so it looks like they are going to go in as usual.

The doubt arose when I rang Romans because there was a delay in delivery, and whilst chatting to staff it was said that these would only be good for next years seeds. but I will plant them out and see what happens !

I got two lots, Puritans and  a very old one called forty-fold.

OK, you be the Hamster then *S*

 Most of the seed potatoes sold here (France) are not any bigger than pigeons eggs, and everybody harvests a normal crop of spuds. Allthough a little bigger than your mini tubers, seed spuds here are nowhere near the size of yours in the UK.

The man himself has spoken
