Potatoes
A few weeks ago, Riverford, our organic veg supplier (we still get stuff from them, though a lot less than we did in pre-allotment days) sent us some really fantastic potatoes. They were a pale gold inside and had a flavour like no other spud I've ever tried.
So I wrote to Riverford yesterday and asked what variety they were. Riverford, who are good at customer service as well as wonderful veg, promptly replied that they were either Sante or Valor depending on exactly when we got them.
Looking on the web, they were probably Sante, but Valour has blight resistance and that is a really big bonus. Maybe I'll try growing both next year. (We're trying four different ones this year, and only one of them is one we tried the previous year)
