sorry, sorry, sorry, yet another POTATO question...!

[reddyreddy]

Apologies!

Which variety suitable for baking/roasting stores the longest?

I was useless last year and did not note down varieties but this year I have some fab new software (thanks Tim!) and won't make that mistake again!!

Depends how & where you store them, course. My maincrops are Desiree and Piccasso; I store them in paper sacks in my cellar (so the temperature is fairly constant, and it's dark). I find they usually last well until about Easter, when they start to sprout. I assume most maincrops would be the same.

Grew Piccasso last year would highly recommend then, large spuds still keeping great.

both now in my basket at alan romans, thanks!

I'm never going to grow Picasso again, because the slugs slaughtered them. Hardly a clean potato. Charlotte and Desiree nearby were very good.

I find that Axona has a very long dormant period. ie before it starts to sprout. It also has very good blight and slug resistance.
