morning, from sunny Shropshire, this question is ab easy one for me but I'm afraid that the answer may be a bit long. There two main types of taters, earlie's and maincrop, some experts divide these into about 8 categories, 1st earlies, 2nd earlies, early mids, late mids, early maincrop, its all bunkem.I was taught from an early age to concentrate on earlies and maincrop. My favourite early is the newish Pentland Javelin, resistant to a lot of tater disease, and Desiree is a must for my maincrop,its got a lovely flavour and will keep,properly stored till well into the new year. Plant earlies in late March, God those flippin jackdaws are back give us a sec
