Help with potato name please!
« on: January 27, 2008, 17:55:45 »
I went to Dulwich potato fair today  ;D
I let my daughter choose a couple of spuds, but can't work out what she's written  ???
Any chance anyone knows of one that begins with "peach" possibly with a L next, and then ?

Have a look at these two links - could not see anything with Peach in he name, but you never know you might see one that rings a bell.

Good luck!

You could try here...

I couldn't find anything with peach in it's name though.

Just found the website for the actual potato day event that you went to.  Its lists all the varieties that it was selling, but again nothing with peach.

It isn't Fleur Pecher  is it and she has written it backward like Pecher Fleur, I think that is the name, I am not real sure though XX Jeannine

Sometimes they turn up on the day with something strange and new which might be the case.

There is also one called Peachbloom


CityChick you are a star!!!  ;D That is it, and when I read it, I recognized the name!
Should be an interesting choice, and now I don't have to ask what it says  ;)
