The salad ones I grow and really like are pink fir apple even though they grow odd shaped and look like a freak tattie ;D http://www.britishpotatoes.co.uk/pink-fir-apple/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Bill we have not planted ours yet, it has just been too wet in Foggie. Ridges are all ready now should be in by the weekend. about 15 10ft rows to go in think we have about 7 varities My veggie patch is the size of a postage stamp. Only 7 drills but I started digging it last Saturday and finished on Sunday and then put drills up and seed planted on Tuesday. I was speaking to my father at the weekend and he was saying that in the olden days when farm workers moved at term time it was May 28th and if they were moving to a new "fee" then they would only plant their tatties after they had moved. So you and Martin aint late yet ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Cheers lads, indeed thought I'd keep quiet on the cheering and swearing front for the videos this time....... :D well martin niven seems to be busy. is that 7830 a replacement for andys 7920 as i don't see it about. the farm we contract for at the planting and lifting has 120 acres near arbroath and about 150 up north to plant.ye martin our new 6830 is on a seperator,also bruntins has hired in an extra 3 deeres from nethertons for the planting. No Andy's 7920 was kicking around on the Grimme Bed Former, only got one pic (which wasn't a very good one) of it though Peter.......Looked like the 7830 was on demo as it was Niven himself driving it at one point and there were no Clova Farms signs or anything on it....... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
