Potato 'Epicure' and Potato 'Markies'

[MarkHackwell]

Does anyone know where I could possibly get these from in possibly 5 tuber packs because the potato days round here seem quite small so don't seem to stock these very often and don't want to spend too much on postage as some are £4.95

Both varieties are listed by Charlton Park GC in the catalogue Io got from their Shropshire potato day, give them a call & see if they post out small quantities ...... Charlton Park Garden Centre Wantage, Order Online or 01235 772700

Excellent news Mark double happy for you & good to get feedback regarding this company & their willingness to help

Hope the crops turn out well for you, remember there are classes for potatoes in the Virtual Vine Show each season, so when you dig them up take pictures in readiness

Ananke, Sarpo Axona are also on the list ... http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1419565 ... might be worth a bell

Damn it, I have enough seed potatoes already Might be worth getting some more though just to have a try

[Ananke]

Thanks for that I'll head over and have a gander.

Well known but I have never heard of them :P tempted to try them but they may have to wait til another year :P you ever tried them before?

I eventually got my spuds What a fantastic deal I got, placed an order on Sunday night, 40 Sarpo Axona plus delivery for just over £12, delivered this morning

ETA: Not from that company you mentioned, they didn't answer my email, from a place called Crocus.

[bearded bloke]

Shame they failed you Ananke but I'm double happy that you eventually found some & at a good price too

[Ananke]

Thanks for your help, very much appreciated I'm just happy I got some, they are selling out fast, I believe.

Question for Mark (and anyone else): How did you get on with the Epicure?

I normally get Dunluce as my first earlies and nobody has them at the moment and for reasons too complicated to explain, I need to order my seed potatoes now and was thinking about Epicure.

Thanks.

Quite a nice spud, very pale flesh but a bit knobbly.

[Snoop Puss]

Thanks, Bario. I was wondering about the knobbliness. We have clayey soil, which might exacerbate the problem.
