For Emma-Jane - that's a pity about your Red Duke of York!  They were beautiful potatoes - far and away one of my favourites on our old plot;  but soils, and micro-climates, and all.

I actually bought Jersey Royal new pots - several times in the last month.  Eeeeeh - it did me good to hear the kids slag them off, as tasteless, watery monsters, compared to the RDoY we grew ourselves!

Never mind - lots more to try!

All best - Gavin

Have just started digging up my spuds ( my first ever crop of my first ever attempt at growing stuff) and what a difference in taste to the spuds out the supermarket.

mine may not have been perfect shape & size (some were really tiddly!!) but they were absolutely gorgeous flavour!!!   Now the only problem I have is trying not to raid the lottie on a daily basis for the spuds.

as a side benefit of the spuds they ain't half helped clear their area of weeds (especially bind weed) so next year I plan on planting a larger area with spuds
