  • French/Scottish seed potatoes...

    I have always bought Scottish seed potatoes believing them to be esp disease resistant.
    Now then- I can buy some here- or wait a few weeks until we nip back to the UK.

    If I were to buy here- does anyone know if they have the equivalent 'type' of potato??????

    Nicos, this link might reassure you as to the quality of French seed potatoes and there's a link to the available varieties with good descriptions of their qualities.

              I bought mine today - I have bought Belle de Fontenay as a first early, Charlotte as a second early and Desiree as a main crop.
              Got blight last year but am growing on my newly cleared plot this year...

                I work in a kitchen, and we get French - grown Charlotte potatoes regularly to accompany salads, roast ham and so on

                For the past 3 years I have scrounged a few and planted them in the spring; never had any problems, and they taste very nice

                  Amandine 1st early (but I think I might give the belle de fontenay a go this time)

                  Agate 2nd early (good alround spud - found in the supermarkets)

                  Rosabelle maincrop

                  Bintje seem to be very popular round these 'ere parts too.

                    Well- we always grow Charlotte- so that's not a problem.
                    I just sometimes fancy a floury spud to jacket or mash.......
