This is a truly wonderful potato.
Bright red ( as the name would suggest ) and a good cropper.
My usual supplier is out of stock , probably due to high demand.
Does anyone have any ideas as to who would have any ?
Wilko were doing a small pack of 5 for £1 I think? If they still have some left that is?
Knew I'd seen them somewhere recently Pippy... ::)
They would work out quite expensive if you want a lot tho ....

Peeveys at Donny have them £4.20 for 3 kg i'm growing them for the 1st time.
It's a good potato - more expensive because it's subject to breeders rights. If you are desperate, Tesco are selling them at £1.49 for 2 kg until 1st March (but they won't be certified virus free and there is a very small possibility they may have been treated to stop them from sprouting) or
10kg for £10 including delivery direct from the grower :)

we got 15 tubers from lidl for 49p, we're putting them in containers, and they are chitting already ;D
I know you're not meant to, but I planted supermarket Roosters last year ... and got as good a crop as I did from my proper seed spuds (6 different varieties)
