  • New Potatoes - Variety Recommendations

    Can anyone recommend any new potato varieties, and any suppliers of them.

    I have a family of five, and don't know how many tubers I need to supply us with them this Summer. Also when do I need to order them by?

    Cheers

    Are you growing them in beds or containers? Do you eat potatoes every day?
    As a rough guide, I find that 1 seed potato, in a bucket, grows about enough potatoes for one meal. There are 5 of us, but one doesn't eat very much

    Varieties comes down to personal taste - try some from the supermarket and decide which ones you like the flavour/texture of. Then Google "buy seed potatoes" and find someone who stocks the variety you like

    Or you could go to a local 'Potato Day' event and chat with the suppliers there, have a look here to find an event near you http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...try_25953.html

      Thanks for your help,

      Yes i will do that.

      Probably planning on growing them in raised beds, or just beds in the ground - does a raised bed offer better yielding?

      Cheers
