Title: Siamese potatoes
Post by: caroline7758 on October 15, 2006, 13:51:57
Dug up my maincrops today- lots of loevly big ones, but also a lot with 2 or 3 stuck together. Is there any particular cause for this, e.g. would they have separated if left a bit longer? I'm fairly sure they were Cara.

Is it not just deep splitting when the heavy rain came? A pic would help diagnosis...
???

HI

I had the same problem ( i think ) with cara. The potatoes were seperated by hardly any space i managed to snap mine and they were joined by a white feeder root as it one had grown from the other.... still tasted nice :-)
