Though the supplier’s description stated these Mayan Gold maincrop potatoes didn’t need chitting, a quick check after they arrived in mid-February showed they had already begun to sprout. I had no choice but to bring them out into the light.
A first look at this year’s seed potatoes from DT Brown, which were due by the end of January but arrived on the 11th. These are Mayan Rose maincrop potatoes; I think they look very pretty, though whether the skins keep their colour when cooked remains to be seen.
