Title: your experiences with Wilja spuds
Post by: gazza1960 on January 27, 2012, 08:25:25
Our Wiljas arrived today as our lotty fella ordered a large quantity to share tween 15 plots,he has told me that they are a good 2nd early that can be used for various things so we have chanced on a few.

I did look at our forum history and there are a few comments on them,but I was just after an update on what you guys and gals think of this spud......good or bad.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

I grew wilja last year, we are still eating them now only about half a bag left and  there still fine,they grew well on my soil but as we all know soil and weather conditions can make a big difference with spuds

I grew Wilja last year will not grow again - stored well, pots still ok now.  Nadine wins hands down on my plot, best flavour but I can only get them to store upto Christmas otherwise I would grow more.

I've grown Wilja for a couple of years. They crop well and are a good basic potato. Nothing fancy but I seem to remember they are supposed to be resistant to something or other. Not sure that was a very helpful post, but I shall be growing them again this year.
