Unbeleivable :o
I hope your family likes spuds for tea.  What are the Red ones, they are so even, they would be great for the show bench. My first year as a lottie but I had a good crop of spuds, Anya, Charlotte and Pink Fir Apple. Problem is, I had to give most of them to old folks in the village as the wife and I only eat a few spuds. The growing was great fun though ;D

Roseval is a very hard potatoe, not too waxy and the taste is a bit like Pentland Squire. Roseval is my favorite this year. Got it in France, but at the moment they are also for sale here in the Netherlands. A GREAT potatoe. :D

That is amazing, LC.  I'm so envious.  Not a brown spot of blight to be seen!

Since the "'potatoe-ban"' we never have  had blight. I think because we are very, veeeerrry carefull with the rotation.  The professional growers, the bulb growers in particulair, are chequed every year and if they find the most little ale worm you are not allowed to grow on that piece of land. We use only cow or horse manure, nothing else. Everybody here in the regio has very good yields every year and healthy potatoes.  :o
