We visited the local garden centre this weekend after they announced it was their annual Potato Day, which is when we usually stock up for the growing season ahead. Alongside the usual bags of seed potatoes, as usual, they also sell individual tubers - ideal for us, as we enjoy trying out new varieties without committing to a full bag.
This year we chose four we haven’t grown before: Harry, Jacky, Caesar, and Mozart, buying five tubers of each. It’s always fun experimenting with different potatoes to see how they grow and, of course, how they taste. Any favourites may well make it onto our general growing list in future years.
The potatoes are now home and ready for chitting. We’re looking forward to planting them out - once the ground finally (if ever) dries out - and hopefully enjoying a great harvest later in the year.
