It was the first Sarpo variety to be marketed in the UK. Be prepared for some extra large spuds!<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about gardening, but not really doing any :( However, 'chit spuds' is on my Jan/Feb to do list, so at least I've ticked off 1 of my jobs this week :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25260581872845212302008-01-18T16:50:00.000+00:002008-01-18T16:50:00.000+00:002 of my varieties have arrived now, so I too will ...2 of my varieties have arrived now, so I too will be chitting them this weekend. I have some earlies-Lady Christie- and Sarpo Mira so far. I believe the Sarpo Mira should be blight resistant too. Not really the weather to be thinking about gardening though, is it?Threadspiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780634324037593398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-15430673960880309802008-01-18T16:27:00.000+00:002008-01-18T16:27:00.000+00:00Hi Flighty - spuds are 1 of the things our allotme...Hi Flighty - spuds are 1 of the things our allotment society doesn't do that well, just 10% off from DT Brown, whereas seeds we get 45% off. Besides NAH bought me an RHS membership Xmas 2006 & I had a £5 T&M voucher burning a hole in my RHS diary, begging to be let out and spent!<BR/><BR/>I've also taken advice from my allotment neighbours - a lot of them grow Kestrel, alas mine got eaten by slugs the year before last and I didn't have much of a crop at all. I felt very smug last year as I was the only plot holder left with spuds in June as blight had got the lot elsewhere. I also tried Harlequin last year (1st Early, so just about beat the blight)and they were delicious - tasted like they had butter on them even when served plain.<BR/><BR/>Take care & have a good weekend.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-12807311698597612222008-01-18T16:16:00.000+00:002008-01-18T16:16:00.000+00:00I shall get mine from the horticultural society.

It's an subject I know little about so I'll be taking lots of advice from my plot neighbours.<BR/>Have a good weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
