Title: Waxy maincrop
Post by: Merry Tiller on July 25, 2005, 11:51:37
Can anyone recommend some waxy maincrop spuds for me to try next year.

I'm happy with my earlies Red Duke (floury), Anya (waxy), and maincrop Pomeroy (floury) but I'd like a few recommendations for a good salad/waxy main to experiment with when I go up to the potato day next spring, preferably with decent blight & slug resistance.
A bit of the collected wisdom that this forum is famous for is what's needed

Cheers, Andy
