Hi Last year I had quite good success with 3 large containers of 2nd early potatoes in pots. I forgot which variety I got. I am planning to pot after about 3 weeks, I hope that's right. We r in London so hopefully no frost after that.. Any recommendations? T

Kestrel for me as they taste lovely and are slug resistant as a bonus.

Red duke of York is a 1st early and a good variety, produces medium sized spuds and some large, excellent for growing in bags, nice mashed, roasted or chipped. The larger spuds are even good cooked in their jackets.
