Hey folks.
General opinion in these parts is that for most things we prefer a floury spud.
I've seen a 1-9 scale, 1 being waxy and 9 being floury but it didn't have all that many varieties on it, and certainly not all the ones I have to choose from.
I know for sure that I like Kerrs Pink and Rooster, both of which are towards the floury end of that scale rated as 6.
I'm trying to choose from the Garden Organic catalogue but am having a hard time relating their varieties to the 1-9 scale to get an idea of what to expect. Can anyone suggest a variety that comes close (if it's an organic one, all the better, but I can live with getting non-organic ones, especially as they'll be organic from this point on)
I'm looking for first and second earlies, mainly... though if anyone can suggest an alternative maincrop to Kerrs and Roosters I'd consider that too. Can anyone suggest something suitable?
Cheers folks.
(I know GO don't sell Kerrs and Roosters, but I may get them from a local-ish nursery as I've always preferred the spuds my family tend to get in Ireland to the ones usually found in shops here.)
