sorry flighty i have never heard of the potato variety Various!what interesting  qualities does it have?

Swift - already in

Blue Edzell - chitting well but not dug the trench yet

Pink fir apple - " "

Sarpo Mira - " "

Havent got a clue about potatoes, picked these ones to get a variety and they claimed to be more disease resistant. Read recently that Sarpo Mira are supposed to be pretty tasteless though!

Which would you recommend for taste?

A plot-neighbour introduced me to Anya last year and they were very very nice so I'm growing them this year.
Mayan Gold, bought some to eat from Sainsburys and was very impressed so I'm trying those for the first time.
Vivaldi, grew them last year and was very pleased with them.
