Default The elusive BF15
Hi there everyone,

I am a new member here - so double hello.

Am on the Yorkshire coast and trying to find a supplier of BF15 potatoes; so far have not met with any success. Anyone out there been able to find them - and if so, please email me with details.

Thanks,

Simon

Hello and welcome to the vine.

Never heard of that potato sorry, have you tried DT Brown and Thompson and Morgan and all the usuals? I have read on here that Alan Roman is good for spuds but don't know the website sorry.

What's so special about this spud? Can you let us know of its characteristics (we might all be wanting some!) I've never heard of it - it sounds like an experimental number or something. Have you eaten them yourself? - well, sorry, I've given you questions, not answers haven't I? Welcome to the grapevine by the way.

Hi Hope@51b, welcome to the vine. BF15 is a first early, but you probably already know that. They are mentioned on this sponsored website, so the links there would be a good place to start. Good hunting.
