Old - M. Piper (aka fool's gold)

Are you on the moss? do you bury them?

in peat soil - no frost damage, just skin damage due long exposure to water, 20% of yield have bad internals - bruising

We're getting about finished planting, may be short on seed, anyone got a couple of tonnes of a decent white variety spare please ?

Although a bit away from prices, is it the cipc ban causing all the potatoes (reds) to be almost neon green after peeling?

 

[teslacoils]

Like this. Only seems to be red ones. Was the same in last night's Desiree.

CIPC stops them from growing, not from turning green.

They’ve been in the sunlight too long.

I hope you’re not eating them.

Ty. Maybe it's just more visible in the red ones. And always from Scotland. East Anglia Piper are fine. Live in the dark cupboard here. Maybe Morrisons lights too bright.

They shouldn’t be selling them like that, they’re poisonous when green. How long have you had them?

Unknown. I'll see if we still have any, although tbh I tend to shop for groceries twice a week.

Got a couple of tons of markies if any use to you.

Just located some manhatten ? They are local so going to give them a try.
Will see how we go thanks.

 

[Fubar]

Got a couple of tonnes of Marfona seed available if anyone is short

Good chipping getting short now ?

Agria yes (price almost doubled in last 4 weeks), Markies not yet. Some Sagitta and Challenger left on market, but less than good quality Markies. Pretty much all stuff is minted and from cold store so it doesn't fry 00 which is a big issue for chippies tbh.

Emptied the Sagitta store yesterday, about 100t Markie left. I’d say they getting short, they usually do when we finish!

Where you been BTW @Honest john?

I have been following the Movie that is playing out across the world. Since Nov 3rd 2020.
really it started on Nov 8th 2016.

Such a huge jigsaw figuring it all out. So much fun.
On spuds only about 5/6 loads left.
