‘Maris Bard’ (first early) Superb ‘new’ potato; chit before planting, sitting tubers upright in eggboxes indoors till they sprout, for super-early crops.

‘British Queen’

(second early) Rock-solid, reliable, floury, general-purpose potato with a mouthwater­ing flavour.

‘Mary’s Rose’ (second early) Lovely pink-skinned, creamy-fleshed variety for harvesting through summer.

‘Pink Fir Apple’ (maincrop) Long, knobbly, pink-skinned tubers with a waxy texture and stand-out flavour.

‘Sarpo Axona’ (maincrop) Resistant to late blight, with big, red-skinned, floury tubers, which make great roasties.
