Seed potatoes ordered - ordered 4 varieties this year, all different to last year.
Our earlies will be Carlton and Norland. Carlton is an oval, white skinned potato with shallow eyes. Norland are also oval, with white flesh but red skin. The combination should be pleasing in potato salads and boiled. Agria will be our mid-season crop. Apparently Agria are a great all round potato that holds well for roasting, great for mashing, do not hold too much water and have an "old fashioned" potato flavour. German Butterball will be the late season crop. German Butterball is an heirloom variety known as a “butterless” potato; because it’s so good, you don’t need butter. Apparently hey store exceptionally well, and possess a deep yellow flesh and flaky texture. We are still eating last years crop so we have conquered winter storage!
