We are trying out T&M potatoes this year instead of treking down to
Hampshire. They arrived today. Had completely forgotten what we had
ordered. Turns out it was:
20 King Edwards
20 Kestrel
20 Maris Piper
20 Lady Christl
20 Desiree
20 Cara
20 Charlotte
20 Rocket
Think we've had them all before, except the Charlotte + Maris Piper.
Going to try (yet again) to keep a better record/journal of things this
year.

Good grief, do you have several allotments then to put them all in?

We have 1.5 allotments, but that will probably cover about 1/4 of a full
plot. We experimented with growing in bags last year, which means we ended
up with a lot fewer actual spuds in the end. Going to try it again (made it
an /awful/ lot easier to dig up!!), but planting a lot deeper and earthing
up a lot more this time.

Blimey, you must go into mourning if blight comes early:)

We haven't, touch wood, had serious blight on the potatoes so far. Last
year was horrid when we got early blight in the greenhouse, though! :'(
