i grew some extremely large Sarpo Mira potatoes last year in the previous years home made compost ;)
          Blight free,and slug free, they were the perfect "all rounder" the chips were superb as were all other cooking methods.
           We have a bed of approx` 120 tubers this year  :) in fresh home made compost again.

                          regards,

Yeah, my Sarpo Mira's (and Axona's) were pretty good for it last year, the very last tuber of the crop is in the cupboard under the stairs right now and will be baked tomorrow.... I've found they don't boil well but OK for chips and baking, and if you're careful, roasting.... but they lack the flavour of some other varieties....

Kestrels and Pentland Crown, but as said, I leave 1 or 2 chits on some of my Kestrel and leave 14+ inches apart.   :)
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
