I am also growing belle de fontaine and they were stated as being a maincrop. The distributor is Taylors. So which is it ?

The PBC on have it down for use as a salad potato.

That would rule out main crop then, in their opinion.

Maybe this is what causes the confusion...you choose when you lift them

Groves certified seed Potatoes:Harvested early it is mild and waxy. Left to mature they have a much stronger flavour
which develops even more with storage.

Sorry mumofstig didn't mean to rub it in
I think the statement that says can be left to mature as a maincrop is right.
So that means that everyone is correct.

Mumofstig, my post above caused hilarity, please let me into the joke

It was just that on page 1 there were sooo many people, and experts!, telling me that it wasn't a main crop, and I had just agreed that I must wrong.................when you came along on page 2 and said that Taylors agreed with me

We're a crazy lot on here sometimes

It looks like we can dig em up whenever we like in the end
