Who buys Jersey Royals anyway? The most tasteless potatoes I've ever had, with very tough skins. Horrible things. Give me a nice Charlotte or Galante any day.
Can't imagine earlies will be all that early this year....

Crymych...*New season lamb, early spuds and the language of Heaven, what’s not to like about Pembrokeshire?!
*the Slough of the West
Happen to be I went to school there and later played for the rugby team back in the day, so can’t agree with you! Riverlea also had a sales depot there for many years, making Riverlea one of the most successful firms in Wales. Now it’s just a service centre apparently.

Always take a coat, even if it’s a heatwave
There’s a reason a farm on the way into Crymych is called “Siberia”!Always take a coat, even if it’s a heatwave

That's the point, it is utterly dreary most of the year; the houses are all red or green, and it's not paint...Always take a coat, even if it’s a heatwave

I always shy away from Jersey potatoes.
The amount of chemicals they must use to keep fields in continuous potatoes doesn't bear thinking about
Not a good idea

I'd rather they got on and sold them early, If we are lucky and have something mid May then easy to sell against there stuff which is passed it/big/ugly.
Out of a heated double glazed greenhouse covered with 3 layers of bubble wrap surely ?Seen some for sale locally at £2.99/kg, proper Pembrokeshire early

Probably not much in the way of chemicals used as they are all first earlies, lifted before PCN becomes a problem, from my very basic understanding of the Jersey crop.
