| We grew Royal Blue and Dutch Cream (which *are* different to Nicola they are even a different shape) last year. The Royal Blue were very prolific under straw. the Dutch Cream less so. Trying to decide at the moment what to plant as we just got the diggers catalogue. Some of the new varieties look pretty interesting and I wish we had room for the 48 assorted tubers in the combo offer, but I think 20 or so will be our limit. We don't make chips, but I do like to make baked/roast (what IS the difference LOL) wedges and yellow-fleshed spuds seem to make the nicest ones. I like the look of the Brownell, which comes originally from Adirondack and keeps up to 4 months. Kipfler are always hard to go past and their yield is fairly good. I was astounded by Purple Congo which they said got 2.73kg per 100g seed in 2005! According to Diggers, pink eye is a high yielder so that's also a possibility... decisions, decisions ! |
