Miniature potatoes

[veggiechicken]

This offer has just landed -

If you're looking for the perfect salad potato, why not try the world's first miniature early potato, Potato 'Vizelle'. As exhibited at the Gold Medal winning potato display at last year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show, this brand new, high-yielding potato is perfect for boiling and adding to salads.

I've been growing miniature early potatoes every year!! Anything much smaller would be the size of a pea.

Anyone tempted? 20% off if you're quick!

You're writing looks different,ah smaller like the spuds

[veggiechicken]

Well spotted, JJ. I copied and pasted it and couldn't edit it back to match my own prose.

[Jungle Jane]

I thought you did it out of cleverness I can't imagine wanting smaller potatoes,mine are small enough

[Snadger]

I've got five tiny potatoes not much bigger than a pea that I grew from TSP last year. Hopefully the ones I grow from these this year will be a bit bigger.

[Bren In Pots]

They must be tiny if the planting distance is only 6 inch apart.

[Snoop Puss]

They're not cheap either!

Found some more info -from the breeders Vizelle - Cygnet PEP

Vizelle produces exceptionally high tuber numbers with high yields of tubers in the 20 x 42 mm size band with little over-size.

20 x 42mm in real money is 0.78 x 1.6 inches. I'd be ashamed to call those potatoes

I can do that with Charlotte - plant them in the summer for "Christmas" new potatoes and harvest a few weeks later when they get blight.

[Small pumpkin]

No thanks VC. You can keep your tiny potatoes

[Snoop Puss]

OK, so lots of very small potatoes. Weightwise, what are we talking about? Probably less overall yield... If they're so proud of "little over size", then maybe they're aimed more at supermarkets rather than us.

I quite liked this: "no break-down after boiling". The same could not be said about me.

I've just noticed they're maincrop! All that growing effort and very little to show for it at the end.

Sorry for being so Bah, humbuggish.

They make em look good and sound easy.....go on VC I dare you ...

[Chippy Minton]

Darn it, another missed marketing opportunity. Usual potato growing year...
Sow seed potatoes
Get excited when they start showing
Await blight
Panic
Cut down haulms
Dig up (as number 1 son would say) midgy potatoes, await cessation of laughter
Explain they're mini-baby-pearl potatoes that are very VERY expensive in the shops
Try to look smug
Avow never to grow potatoes again
Get seed potato catalogue and start getting excited.......

Normally, I'm up for a dare but this is just ridiculous, gp, so I dare you to do it instead.
I take every bit of advertising speak by this retailer with a giant pinch of salt - and I don't think these peapod spuds would need much salting!
