[gobs]

I also do try to grow something new every year, Grannie, but my list is already too long. :roll:

[GrannieAnnie]

I know what you mean Gabi, and there are sooooooo many varieties of potatoes let along all the other things you can grow, different sizes, colours, shapes, tastes...........

yep, the list is endless!!!!

[gobs]

Well, I'm def trying to fit in a yellow sweet potato and Yukon Gold potato and Okra next year and some other bits and bobs. :roll:

FB liked Vivaldi, so if you trying and also like it that should give them folks a better hearing. Let us know, how good it is.

[GrannieAnnie]

Have you tried asparagus peas Gabi?  Would you like some seeds?

[gobs]

Oh, thanks so much, but I've just bought some, they've turned up today, some pleasurable dreaming tonight, sorting out seeds.

I bought Vivaldi potato tubers from Dobies.  I also bought Charlotte potato tubers.
It's the first time I've grown potatoes and they are coming up fine.
It's a very tasty potato and you can cook it any way.

I've just dug up my first Vivaldi Quite large spuds compared to Charlotte and just over 2lb for the plant Well chuffed with that, and the best thing is they taste really delish

Will deffo grow them again............the only downside is that on my dry soil the tall foliage got floppy, or do they all do this?

[peapod]

I got vivaldi too, but lost all the info...why did you dig them up now Mum? When did you plant them? Questions questions! Tell me all you know...tell me! 

[mumofstig]

I had run out of charlottes and the red duke of york which were supposed to be my firsts are still mostly only marble sized . Vivaldi are classed as 2nd earlies/ early maincrop :blink: depending where you look
so i furkled..they looked good so lifted one. I planted them on St Patrick's day, 17th march.  But they were up and away like rockets the first of my 3 types to break ground. I earthed them up 3 times and they were still a good 3 ft above the soil, that's why when it got windy they went all floppy.......but they still tasted PDG  YUM

[peapod]

Had they flowered? Im getting buds on mine..and have earthed up with straw and not soil. These are one of the ones I have in bins, and after reading that I want to go and tip the bin out!

[mumofstig]

Only 1 or 2 flowers. looked on the tatabase and it shows flowers but doesn't say much else.
But 1 thing.....i know why i like them....they compare them with desiree, and they are my all time fav spuds ...but i won't grow them because of the late blight risk. So it's vivaldi for me

[peapod]

I got Desiree too, so I can compare    Im now very excited! Seriously I am 

[mumofstig]

Fingers crossed for you when you furkle
