Just finished harvesting my early potatoes. 4 x 25ft rows one each of swift, rocket, premier and either vivaldi or vitabella not sure which.
38lb (17.2kg) rocket
22lb (10kg) swift
35lb (16.2kg) premier
31lb (13.8kg) the other.
Premier were a new variety for me and the bumf said it was used by McCain for chips. It does make reasonable chips and some spuds are large enough for bakers, 250g to 350g.
The first 2 roots I dug up were not very promising though. There was plenty of top growth but nothing below (just 400g. for both of them). But they were close to and underneath a tree. The rest of the row was ok.
