Mr Little's Yetholm Gypsy Seed Potatoes

[Currysniffa]

I had a very successful crop last year and I've got to say they made the best roasties ever (imho) I got them from a local garden centre they were from taylors. I been wanting to try them for donkeys year so I was really pleased when I spotted them in the GC.

This year I was going to grow them again. So yesterday I when up to the GC to get me some. Nope taylors haven't sent them any this year. So we've phoned taylors this morning only to be told the there not doing them for them for the foreseeable future.

So I turn to the trusted vine for inspiration. Have you managed to get some this year, if by mail order where form please? If you have grown them before do you know of a alternative?

Thanks grapes

P&P's a killa though. Only want enough for a row. But if I get some more growing space in the next few weeks I may bite the bullet. Thanks for posting.

Chris I've found them mentioned here at a potato day, but probably too far to travel :-

Hi Bren,
we haven't been able to get hold of any Little Gypsies yet, which is annoying cos it's one of my favourites too. The potatoes listed at WYOG | West Yorkshire Organic Group for sale at Potato Day have a brown tag next to the name. Keep checking back as we are trying to source some. We have just added Bonnie and Milva to the list today.

We were told Taylor's seed potato's that they've dropped them this year( poor harvest) but they could be back in a couple of years time o_O

Have you tried Yukon Gold potatoes. IMHO they make excellent roasties. I used to have to order them from Scotland but this year I see that Thomson & Morgan have started stocking them. If you watch any of the USA cooking programs on the Food Network it's the one that's always mentioned.
We usually grow pots in bags, as I've only a garden, but I've had a good crop from them for 3 years and have ordered more for this year. (Also one called Golden Nugget which I haven't tried before).

Hi BB are that are main crop? I was looking to grow some in some 30ltr pots I have for this year. So I'll have Google them. The garden centre near me has some different heritage seed potatoes in too so I may go for a coffee there and do some googling lol saves on p&p.
