Tristan, and anyone else interested, just reading this month's TKG which arrived this morning, and one of their plant offers is 10 slips of a new variety, T65, from T&M I suspect, for £9.99 inc p&p. Might be worth a go if you don't have time/space/success with producing your own. Pg47 - don't know if it's in the shops yet but it's usually only a day or two later.

"bred to produce good crops in the UK including Scotland, the tubers have creamy flesh rather than the usual orange and being slightly less sweet will appeal to those who find the orange tubers slightly too sweet".

I wonder if they run out will they just send out shoots of Desiree

Oh look, you can order by phone: C797, on 01473 695225

And now mine are on order!

The chance of having a sweet potato siuted to our climate is too good to pass up. I'll keep you posted on how they go.
