I have some seed in my store to plant this year.

I work for the variety breeder - pm me an email if you want me to send you a full profile.

only just seen this so hopefully you’ve planted them deeper than average as they can be prone to a few greens. Also they are sensitive to Metribuzin both pre and post em. Otherwise they’re a robust early maincrop and can be moved off the field or from store (had some roasters for tea last night (and some chips about a week ago) and fry colours are still great ……

Thanks for that.
yes I planted them as deep as possible! Ben has supplied the seed. I’m just interested into other people’s experiences with them!

Yes, they didnt work out well when I toe & heeled 25kg in, wasn’t deep enough!

Lady Terra planted 5/9/24 harvested some before Christmas and back again now. Yields are good for us ( 15 t/acre ) but slightly low dry matter for crisps but they’ll take them.

Yes we’ve had a change. Last year we had close to 50 inches of rain. After Christmas the sun has come out and everything is shining.

Ah, too hot

Not too bad. The sun is bright but the humidity is low. Compared to he UK at 80 degrees Fahrenheit it’s much more pleasant.
