"provides moderate yields of medium size tubers"

I can translate that as........... tiny yields of small spuds

I hope I'm wrong though

They look interesting, be careful you don't mix them up with other things, if cats and dogs have a chance of getting on your patch!

To drag up an old thread - we grew some Congo potatoes this year, for a bit of fun. Great colour raw and mostly kept the colour cooked. Rather strange to eat, but tasted fine and didn't disinigrate on cooking.

I accidentally left a couple in last year, and have just harvested some five inch long spuds, rather than the weeny ones I had last season. Yes, a long growing period certainly helps
