These are great potatoes but better steamed not boiled then they dont fall apart so much or seperate. check out my blog www.homeorganics.wordpress.com for some recipes.

Not a heavy cropper but has a good shape and a pleasant taste. When boiling,if cut into approximately large walnut sized pieces,do not boil for more than 8/9 minutes. Watch and test carefully 7+ minutes because they do suddenly break up. If boiling as small whole potatoes then the outsides do part from the inner core, unless carefully watched. Despite this difficulty I still grow them for their taste.

Definately not a salad potato. When boiled even slowly fall apart and very floury. I have not tried this variety before and will not in the future. Medium sized clean potatoes shame really

Growing Instructions

1. To sprout seed potatoes, place in a light cool area. Protect from frost.
2. Planting can take place as soon as the risk of frost has passed in your area, during spring, March - May. Plant 4.5 in deep in shallow ridges. seed should be 8 - 9 in apart in the row with 2 ft between each row.
3. Earth the plants up when they are 8 in tall. This encourages a higher yield of potatoes.
4. Watering your plants well will improve crop yield and discourage scab from forming.
