My mouth is watering now  :P :P :P
I assume the flavour of all of them is excellent?

You started on your Anyas already Tim? How do they compare to Pink Fir? Must have a look under mine to see what is happening, they are the ones I am looking forward to the most! Great Pics ;D

Moggle - haven't tried all - gave some to daughter & others. RDY were very fluffy. They were grown on a very poor strip of land.

Doris - nice texture, like PF but - on first tastings - nothing special with flavour. Could be the drought?
Great having very small haulms but, presumably, they won't store, so we're putting some of last year's PF in as well!! = Tim

8/3 - 9/3 - 4/4 - 9/4 - 16/4
BTW - RDY got blight 2 weeks ago so we chopped them, & the neighbouring Anya just in case. Others have now been sprayed so hopefully may be OK.   = Tim

Hi Tim, next season I hope to grow some potatos. What variety can you recommend for roasting? It would be great to serve up home grown roast potatos with my sunday lunch.

Too clever by half, Eric - sorry it wasn't flowers. Do drop in & show me one day.

Jesseveve - life's too short to stuff a mushroom - I use whatever we've got, except salad varieties (but I even roast Pink Fir!) & vary the method. But try this. = Tim

Just to say that our last 3 varieties (2 reds & 1 white) have now received full marks from the family. = Tim
