Gardening Questions Tasty new potato

Think you are a bit late to buy seed potatoes. I grew Red Duke of York with reasonable success. The amount of rain we had did not help.
What I am trying right now is to "chit" shop bought Maris Piper,
plant them 4 inches down and 12 inches between rows. They are excellent spuds.
Reading my Kitchen Garden magazine I read that a variety called Spiro Mira are very resistant to blight. But, again, I think you will struggle to find any seed spuds at this time of the year.

Good luck

I am thinking about next year!!

Ok Stu. In that case I would definitely go for Spiro Mira.

I grew "Charlotte" this year in an old compost bag and they came out lovely (almost a carrier bag full) a few odd shapes but thats what you expect when you grow your own!!

I would try Jersey Royals for the finest flavour, and grow them where the soil is fertile maybe add some calcified seaweed. Research shows liquid comfrey gives better results with potatoes than a general fertiliser.
