axona last year, and mira the yearr before, id agree that they arent as tasty as some varieties but ive struggled to get any decent crop of the tasty ones cos blight here in wet and humid cornwall wipes them out.
i suppose id prefer to put the effort in to get something rather than all that work for nothing!
the other advantage is they just keep growing and growing, i had some huge spuds by august last year.and the plants were still going in october.
as a test i grew another non resistant variety between the plants to see how they fared, they were dead by july and lifted to find just a few, allbeit tastier, spuds.
ill do the same this year for my maincrop, international kidney for treats till the blight hits.
as the sarpo range is new and still being developed im going to stick with them.
lawrence hills said that if the blight cycle could be stopped, that would be it broken, growing spuds that perpetuate blight keeps the cycle going.
