Post by: Tin Shed on June 17, 2008, 21:37:15
This really to say thank you to Springbokgirlie for spotting the Vales Emerald potato offer earlier in the year.
I have just dug up the first few roots and they are delicious!!! Definitely on the list for next year!

I got mine too.  Due to working away, I will not get to see them let alone taste them.  OH will just eat what I have planted.  She ain't fussed on the variety as long as the veg keep coming.
