Casablanca

First Early

5 tubers

2.900

First root of this on trial variety. Not a large enough harvest to make a judgement

Charlotte

Second Early

60 tubers

25.500

Produced a good quality potato as expected.

Juliette

Early Maincrop

20 tubers

17.200

A crop of smallish but very clean potatoes

Marilyn

First Early

10 tubers

4.257

All this variety now lifted. An OK potato but nothing special

Nadine

Second Early

20 tubers

11.100

Produced a good quality potato as expected.

Nicola

Early Maincrop

60 tubers

29.074

Produced a good quality potato as expected.

Premiere

First Early

20 tubers

16.520

This variety suffered most from slug damage even though it was lifted early. It also broke up badly when cooked.

Swift

First Early

20 tubers

2.693

Unusually most of the tubers from this variety just didn't grow. Might try it again next year.

Vales Emerald

First Early

10 tubers

1.853

This was our tastiest new variety and will grow again next year

Winston

First Early

60 tubers

34.670

Still our heaviest cropper even with some roots discarded due to slug damage. Large size potatoes for jackets and chips. Seems that the slugs like this variety.

Potato Harvest 2012 - Weights and Comments

Despite this spring and summer’s poor weather and the potatoes getting away to a very late start the total crop weights for 2011 and 2012 is very similar with a total for 2011 of 152.304 kg. As lots of you measure in pounds 150 kg is equivalent to 330 lbs.
