SPUD MANIA




the potato planting season will be with us soon and our seed potatoes are all in trays in the greenhouse sprouting away. we have gone a bit over the top this year and have 70 variety's to go in we are going to plant 5 tubers of each. except for our main variety's such as swift, rocket, kestrel, king Edward, rooster we will put 10 each in as they are are main variety's for eating.
the reason we are growing so many is to compare them against each over in the same growing conditions all will be planted at the same time (well over a week) about mid march weather dependent.
we will then get fair results harvest dates, crop, disease and more important taste.
we will let you no how they are getting on through the growing season

Crumbs - I thought I was growing a lot this year, but I'm a mere beginner in comparison!
