We did Lady Christyl 1st, Charlotte 2nd, Desiree n Golden Wonder main last year, all did well, not a massive crop, but plenty enough! but has someone said earlier! the wet weather never helped!
I had Lady Chrstyl last year, only about 3 small flavourless potatoes on each. And I had Charlotte which was great. At first like a salad potato,good for summer. I left them in the ground and dug them up when needed. They got less firm and more floury, better for autumn and winter, and the last lot dug at Christmas made great roast potatoes.
My sister had Lady Chatterley under her mattress when I was about 14 so I nicked it and couldn't find anything exciting in it. Then I saw in the front it had "abridged version" so all the good bits had been taken out!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
There was a book shop in Guildford that used to sell all the naughty books for us naughty boys-used to go in there after school then get home and hide them
Hello everyone - lots of potatoes on here today . I've been in school concentrating hard on fractions, percentages and decimals . Sorry to hear about leaks and Lottie's saggy butt . Have just found out we will be dog-sitting Fri - Mon for a cute little Jack Russell cross called Archie (friend's rescue dog) so will be doing quite a few walkies! Son went to Hong Kong 2 years ago and visited the Giant Buddha - will see if I can find picture.
My house has just been turned upside down by Jess's school friends. 2 twin boys, came back to 'play' for an hour after nursery! Good Lord! Talk about . I really couldn't cope with them full time. They were so 'into eveything'. Poor mum. No wonder she always looked exhausted.
Think I'll have to go to GC. I suppose if I leave it too late they'll sell out. based on everyones ideas I think I wilhave a go at Kestrel, desiree (maybe) picasso, and Anya but as I only grow in containers I do not need KG's worth. There is always Charlotte to fall back on and will get christmas ones again - hoping it's a better year. Is this a good spread, experts?
I only need small packs not the big bags. 1 or 2 bags a variety and then I have them along the garden path - plenty of room. A plan this year is to make a potato bag/plant nursery area that's the plan I have the gravel but......

I seem to recall he got to the actual site in a glass bottomed cable car and the walk up the steps to the statue was quite exhausting!
