Waxy flesh, good as an early crop and also heavy cropping as a main crop. I'm still eating mine now (stored in hessian sacks in outside util' room). Another plus, they have very thin skins, I don't bother to peel em'. Bertie |

Refresh my memory, when's the best time for planting tuits. Trad Easter, but this event seems to move dates every year. Am using I'll lay out in open boxes (cheening or chitting) say, 2 weeks before planting? p.s. had great reults with 'Golden Wonder' floury, great as saute'. 2005, huge folliage growth (5 foot plus) but tiny spuds. Hmmm, stick with something like King Edwards methinks. Bertie |

The best time for planting is said to be on Good Friday. If I'm planting them, they go in serendipitously, though. Trad Easter, but this event seems to move dates every year. Yes, but it may just have something to do with the phases of the moon, easter or potatoes, take your pick. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
