hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is a whole lot better -
no idea but i have bought some as well for the first time -
I have bought some as well for my first foray into spud growing!
They're chitting nicely in the utility room.

I grew them as earlies last year and they were lovely and a good size, even though with typical impatience I dig them too early!! Plan to have them again this year.Kirsty b xx

me too!
I'm was also wondering this. I had a mad moment when B&Q brought their seed spuds on the shelves around xmas time. I ended up buying 4 varieties and am currently chitting them. can't wait for the weather to warm and to get them in the ground.
Am also going to grown some in containers this year too.SpiderpigComment

Alan Romans book says:
Pentland Javelin - A showbench quality early with flavour, tuber number and disease resistance.
It is supposed to give a good yield.

first early
hi,
yes they are a first early. pull them up right at their prime (flowers dropping) and they are fab!
you can also pull them up slightly earlier and they are brilliant with a bit of beef and veg.All vehicles now running 100% biodiesel...
For a cleaner, greener future!Comment
