  • European Cultivated Potato Database

    Whilst trying to answer a vine members question about spuds I stumbled on this interesting site:-

    The European Cultivated Potato Database

    One of the cool things you can do ( if you use the search then edit command) is find out your favourite potatoes parentage and lineage!

    I tried Desiree which is apparently a Dutch variety derived from a cross between Urgenta and Depesche. On looking up Depesche I found it was a cross between Duke of York and Imposant! I think it's amasing that two of my favourite varieties ie Desiree and Duke of York are related.

    Do give it a try with your favourite spud and find out if it has any other well known spuds in it's lineage?

    I think this really is a fascinating site, or do I need to get out more?
