Feel free!! Like everyone else, I had to have a look.
Given that these Colleen are not yet 8 weeks in, I'm not offended.
Just right for the Tuna salad!!

No we wouldn't dare Tim. They look wonderful and probably taste it too. Can't wait for our first.

We grow it because it is 'resistant'.

Shed - all I can say is
a very nice salad potato
. I can judge better between Scotches & Wines.
I admire those who can discern between, say 2000 varieties of Tomatoes or a similar number of Potatoes.
Forgetting its resistance, I would grow it anyway.

My June open-planted potatoes survived the frosts.
Biscombe, I suppose you - there - mean fresh actual Tuna? Here it's mostly tinned.
I see that we have good new advice on what to buy?

Wow Tim, very impressive after such a short time!! I got my first flower or three this weekend on my earlies, in fact my 2nd earlies are fairing better than my int. kidneys, which went in at the same time, albeit a lot deeper (first trench was easily 8" deep, I was never very good at guesstimating!)
I don't care HOW many I get this year, just to be be to eat them and say "I grew that" will do me!
