Hello - I may know what your other varieties were Pretty Polly
Hello Pretty Polly,
Did you get your offer of the four potato varieties from a newspaper offer ?
I did and I think it may have been from the Independent or Sunday Times.
If you did then your other three varieties may be Romano, Vales Emerald and King Edward. Just a possibility.
Also the potato council website is quite interesting about potatoes - follow the link for British Potatoes I think it is and it takes you to a place with info about potatoes and also recipes and a kids bit as well.
I have resisted lifting mine yet even though two of the bags look pretty past it in their leaves and none have flowered at all ! but I think I have some new ones and some second earlies - cant remember which ones now !! Will have to look it up again. but certainly two lots are main crop so wont be ready until about September I think. From what I remember the newspaper offer was so popular that they didnt post the potatoes out until it was quite late to plant them.
Next year I will head to Dobbies and get Charlottes alone I think !
Well good luck with your potatoes !
