Better add a sieve to the equipment store!

Slow news day then... but seriously any non GM breeding programme that improves blight resistance gets my vote..

Jayb:

Hi ya, I'm up for it provided they don't put the prices sky high. We suffered with blight this year very badly, 1st time in 20 years, I was growing Maris Bard, Sarpo Mira and King Edward. I don't  usually bother with main crop but gave it a go this year. The blight showed and I cut the tops down and seven the Sarpo didn't last to long. I was late lifting my earlies but they seemed to taste better for being left longer. I usually buy main crop as the supermarkets sell them cheaper than the farms and I don't have the hassle. I would give this new one a go and always look for Scottish seed as advised. Will keep my eyes and ears open and see what comes. How long before they are on general release if indeed they do to the general public. MMMMMM tatties and neeps with a haggis and onion gravy, bring it on. :wave:
