Below are the Shetland Black. At first glance these appear not to have the vivid purple-black colour I was expecting from the picture on the website, however if you look very closely you can see that they are quite dark underneath the covering of soil . Hopefully I will be in for a pleasant surprise when I dig them up.
Finally, here are my maincrop potatoes for this year. These are Sarpo Mira. I only bought these because of their blight-resisting properties. Some people seem to like them, some don't. I've never tasted them, so I'll find out which camp I'm in later on this year.
These aren't familiar varieties so it'll be interesting to see how you get on with them Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you posted! :) x
DeleteI shall be glad when I am able to plant my potatoes. You seem to have selected some interesting varieties.
ReplyDeleteI like to try something a bit different. I particularly like potato flowers so am looking forward to what appears on this years selection.
DeleteShetland Blacks looks promising! :) I'd plant them myself if I had such potatoes.
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
Hello! I chose them purely because of their interesting colour inside and out. I thought they might make the children a bit more enthusiastic about mashed potato :)
