I know we have mentioned this on here ..But there seems to be a big difference of late in some variates
I was planting the tatties I dig up early for new ones 1.5k of each.....The spacing varies on these as I count them out and adjust spacing so they make complete rows ...I set them in a 9 yards wide patch ..
Heres what I found ..
Foremost .. 26 tubers which I manged 2 rows...
Royal Kidney.. 28 tubers 2 rows again ,,
Nicola .... 15 largish tubers which I could only manage 1 row out of ...
Anyone else noticed similar ...
All were certified Scottish seed from same supplier
Cheers ..Jim
That's life!!
I'm a bit lucky in that respect I get to hand pick mine!!
we've cut the big ones in half, as long as they've got a couple of eyes on each piece, they're o.k. :)
