There is no comparison EJ is there especially with the first earlies? I'm a sad case, I do give some of the first earlies away but I have to make myself do it! Never thought I would grudge anying but there you go .... and I am becoming quite envious of all you southerners, ours won't get lifted until second week July, oooooh it's so hard being patient but for the sake of marital bliss I will ....

Just use them till they're gone - then you know how many to plant next year (ie how many fields of spuds! )
Just literally eaten my first spuds (Duke of york) andof course they were exquisite.
Two more rows to go, then Charlotte, then king edward, then pink fir apple . . .

Storing - Earlies get used fast, so no problem. Seconds and Maincrop we have used paper sacks (not ideal), hessian sacks (ok) but now store in those collapsible plastic boxes with the "openwork" sides diff variety in each box, stacked on top of each other in order of lifting (first lifted first used usually but depends on how variety keeps) with clean black porous membrane draped over. Works for us but no dobut everyone has there own way.
Cheers.
