The year of the home-grown potato
What with daffodils and crocuses appearing in the garden, I guess it’ll soon be time to decide what to grow this year.
Last year Phyllis was quite upset that I forgot to grow potatoes, and my life was only saved by a few plants that appeared out of nowhere (or rather, I must have left a few tubers in the ground the year before).
So this year is to become the year of the home-grown potatoes.
However, which varieties should we grow?
It’d be nice to grow something that you don’t often see in shops, such as these Mayan potatoes.
Any recommendations?
Purple ones! Purple ones!
Such as Edzell Blue?
What did you call the really ugly little nutty ones we got in the supermarket once but that they weren’t brave enough to sell last year again?
Something Dutch?
Sava er gode – undgå Folva – tag de gamle sorter; de er måske ikke så resistente, men smager bedre.
Aspargeskartofler er fine.
Nogle er gode at lave mos af – andre bedst til noget andet – spørg på Landbohøjskolen evt. ,-)
