This variety has a very fine flavour with waxy skins which are perfect hot or cold.Nicola – A few days later than Charlotte with a similar crop of long oval small tubers which taste best freshly dug. Excellent in salads or sauteed.Vanessa – One of the very few pink skinned earlies and finely flavoured too. Not the earliest but an excellent cropper. The smooth skin and shallow eyes make it a candidate for the show bench.Mashed and Baked Potato Collection – Whether you prefer perfect creamy mash or crisp baked potatoes, King Edward, Rooster, Picasso and Cara, all varieties chosen for their heavy crops, will feed the family for months! 1kg tubers of:King Edward – This old favourite needs good soil to do well and crops are more modest than some but it’s well worth growing as it is unsurpassed for roasting and the floury flesh makes fine mash too when steamed.Rooster – An excellent all-round potato combining delicious taste and floury texture with good yields. Rooster produces outstanding chips and it is perfect for mashing and roasting.Picasso – Maturing about a month earlier than the similar and well known Cara from which it was bred, this is a great garden potato! Picasso is easy to grow with good disease resistance and gives a huge crop of large baker sized potatoes which also mash very well.Cara – Known as the ‘king of the bakers’ for its large round part coloured tubers which so suit this purpose. Good for most other purposes too and easy to grow with high yields and excellent resistance to disease. Full growing instructions included.
