Best of all

Top variety for flavour. I grow it successionally right through the season for maximum availability. I find it stores well, despite being a first early, and grows very well in pots. I can't find any better!!

Large crop of uniform sized spuds. Lovely roasties ona sunday. Wouldn't have as a jacket because the skins are very thick. No disease problems - even scab was nonexistant.
