I prefer Harlequin over Charlotte - it's a Charlotte x Pink fir apple cross if memory serves. I shall continue with my quest for top tasting spuds - there are so many to try aren't there? xxxVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-45392199256080892012015-09-23T14:57:49.745+01:002015-09-23T14:57:49.745+01:00Ooh Helen, I must come over and grab your link to ...Ooh Helen, I must come over and grab your link to add to mine :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-9723862999196924782015-09-23T14:32:38.440+01:002015-09-23T14:32:38.440+01:00Bought ones may be cheaper but no way do they tast...Bought ones may be cheaper but no way do they taste anywhere as good.

I suspect your watering was more efficient than mine, even with the dry period. I've grown Epicure in the past, and they were very good - you've reminded me about them for next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-74752828076235492642015-09-23T10:29:10.812+01:002015-09-23T10:29:10.812+01:00Good point CJ about pot grown spuds coming up clea...Good point CJ about pot grown spuds coming up clean and blemish free.

Although I did have a few volunteers, and they were honestly such a treat. I've had quite good results in pots before now, and lovely unblemished potatoes. Maybe next year...
