Maris Bard for me,not sure what is classed as a good yield,but they are producing 17-20 good size spuds from each haulm,with many smaller spuds as well,the taste is sublime.

Charlotte for me - grow them every year - lovely waxy salad potato with fantastic flavour.
Gardening organically on chalky, stony soil.

I like Charlotte as well, but as they are second earlies, I've not got around to them yet. Finished the Ulster Chieftan, wading through the Arran Pilot, yet to attack the Pentland Javelin - then the Charlotte. (Have I planted too many?)
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The arronpilot were nice and waxy but I did like the rocket as they are a little less dense and make nice spiced potatoes!Potatoes seemto stay whole with gentle boiling this year,is this because of the amount of rain we`ve had?
