Potatoes

Last Sunday we went to the Hampshire Potato Day to by in our spuds for this year. Yes, it's a bit silly going so far just to buy a couple of tubers, but y'know, it's a day out, and it has a nice seed swap and some kids' activities, etc ...

Potato List for this year:

1st Earlies: Riviera (huge bake/boil); hzd99-1437 (trial variety, like Charlottes)

2nd Earlies: Maya Twilight (white with red splodges); Kestrel (white with purple eyes, we like these - very showy); Yukon Gold (I think these are the waxy yellow ones I liked last year - our records got a bit muddled); Toluca (organic); Bonnie (new variety, like Estima)

Maincrop: Markies (1 has gone mouldy already!!); Rudolph; Orla (organic - think these are maincrop, they've not been labelled well)

Put them on the windowsill upstairs for chitting. All well on the way already except for the Markies.
