My favourite garden centre had approximately 7 million different varieties, all bagged up in varying quantities (which is fab for me - from 65p for 6-8 ish spuds so I didn't end up with far too many ) and as it's my first year attempting pototoes I went a bit goggle eyed
I've ended up with the following selection of first earlies:
Swift (purely based on the fact that GYO mag reckoned they were the fastest cropping first early).
Red Duke of York (another GYO mag recommendation, plus they looked fab )
Arran Pilot (purely because my dad remembers loving them)
And for main crop:
Desiree (Picked totally at random )
Fingers crossed!Last edited by SunnyD; 23-01-2008, 01:15 PM.

Do you know how difficult it has been to not buy any spuds so far???

(It's also right between two other, posher, garden centres: 'Gardenland' and 'Pavillion', so don't get confused!)
No toasted teacake facilities there I'm afraid, but there is just 100 yards down the road next to the 'Pavillion' garden centre!
